Understanding OKLCH Components
OKLCH breaks down color into three key components:
- L (Lightness): 0-100 range representing the brightness of the color
- C (Chroma): Intensity or saturation of the color
- H (Hue): Color angle on the color wheel (0-360 degrees)

Frequently Asked Questions
OKLCH is a perceptually uniform color space that represents colors using three values: Lightness (0-100%), Chroma (colorfulness), and Hue (angle in degrees). It's designed to match human perception of color differences.
OKLCH provides better control over color perception and maintains consistent visual differences when adjusting values. It's particularly useful for creating accessible color schemes and smooth color transitions.
Modern browsers support OKLCH directly in CSS using the oklch() function. For example: oklch(40% 0.2 270). The values represent lightness, chroma, and hue respectively.
OKLCH offers better color interpolation, more predictable brightness levels, and improved accessibility. It's especially useful for creating color systems that work well across different contexts and maintain consistent perceived contrast.
