What is OKLAB color code?
The OKLAB color space is a perceptual color space designed by Björn Ottosson in 2020. It serves as a modern improvement over the traditional CIELAB space, aiming to be simple to use while correcting flaws in LAB's perceptual uniformity, especially in the handling of blue hues which can appear purple in LAB. OKLAB uses three coordinates: 'L' for perceived lightness, 'a' for green-red, and 'b' for blue-yellow. Its superior perceptual accuracy makes it excellent for tasks like color blending, gradient generation, and image processing.
What is LCH color code?
The LCH color code stands for Lightness, Chroma, and Hue. It is a cylindrical representation of the CIELAB (LAB) color space, designed to be more intuitive for human understanding. 'Lightness' represents the brightness of the color, 'Chroma' indicates the intensity or saturation, and 'Hue' specifies the color itself (e.g., red, blue, green) as an angle on the color wheel. LCH is particularly valued in design and colorimetry for its perceptual uniformity, meaning that changes in numerical values correspond relatively well to visual changes perceived by the human eye.
