Programmable colors: bridging design and code
summary
Claim: OKLCH gives true perceptual control so hue shifts keep lightness and chroma constant and produce uniform families instead of unpredictable hacks. Demos show dynamic theming, contrast prediction, and mirroring for dark mode, P3 and REC 2020 color support, full Chrome Edge Safari Firefox compatibility, Tailwind adoption, and a quick build of 36 tags in a minute. Tools released: OK color picker, project starter, and harmonizer — all described as working in practice after five years of development.
