https://lea.verou.me/blog/2020/04/lch-colors-in-css-what-why-and-how/ +accurate LCH colors in CSS: what, why, and how?

Spelling

I spell colour with a U (as I'm British) while I'm writing text for humans, but without when I'm writing text for computers (as software languages like #css were created or standardised for American English spelling, color: red). This can get confusing when I'm talking about writing code about colours. Weird eh? This was a decision made in the early days of #Deliveroo, and it's kinda stuck with me.

LCH colours

I'm a big fan of the LCH colour space, which is designed to allow for consistent human-perceived luminescence as the hue and chroma change. Read more here.

Finding colour schemes

I regularly use the paletton colour scheme finder to pick colours that work well together. It's great for finding colours that work well together, and is surprisingly sophisticated!
