For others, I'm sure parent knows: OKLCH is largely a bugfix for CILEAB. Both try to make a color space where even steps feel evenly spaced to a human. But CIELAB had procedural flaws in its creation.

See slide 19: https://www.w3.org/Graphics/Color/Workshop/slides/talk/lille... -- if you ask CIELAB to make "pure blue" (RGB 0 0 100%) become grayscale, the intermediate colors become purple to the human eye. The entire point of a perceptual color space is that that doesn't happen. OKLCH fixes that.

BTW, credit to Björn Ottosson, who basically side-projected a color space into the web standards and more: https://bottosson.github.io/posts/oklab/ ... folks like him are why we sometimes have nice things!
