Hello modern colour spaces

Recently I have been spending some time exploring more recent colour spaces/specifications in Observable. This feels like a quiet revolution that we’ve yet to fully embrace, but I think the impacts are significant, especially as display technologies continue to evolve.

I thought I’d share my thoughts/recommendations here:

I know there are a few other Observable pages out there looking at P3 and OkLCH colours, but I thought I’d focus on what is achievable with Observable Plot and its implications for datavis design.

As ever, comments/discussion welcome.
