Björn Ottosson – OKlch color space

https://abhisaha.com/blog/interactive-post-oklch-color-space

 

Björn Ottosson proposed OKlch in 2020 to create a color space that can closely mimic how color is perceived by the human eye, predicting perceived lightness, chroma, and hue.

 

The OK in OKLCH stands for Optimal Color.

• L: Lightness (the perceived brightness of the color)
• C: Chroma (the intensity or saturation of the color)
• H: Hue (the actual color, such as red, blue, green, etc.)
