It represents colors in a way that&#39;s perceptually uniform, i.e.: changes in color values more closely match how humans actually see color differences. The model allows for precise, predictable color adjustments, especially in CSS for web design.<br/><br/>Here&#39;s a free tool to play around with it (coded by Evil Martians) – and a lot of background info:<br/><br/><a href="https://oklch.com/#70,0.1,171.07,100">https://oklch.com/#70,0.1,171.07,100</a><br/><br/>#colors #css #webdesign 2024-10-31T08:59:25Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsfajtkqzfcgsnt7mst22cwup04f0rlg30eaygldg9mr6ty7fmpwkszyzvmmj2rdgmer9re8t4zjs68rla3g9xlp4ljw4gue856yn6s2yczkdjnf2z Published in 2023, but still relevant:<br/><br/>A paper that looks at how 52 different media organizations from 12 countries address expectations and concerns when it comes to using AI in the news:<br/><br/><a href="https://osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/c4af9">https://osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/c4af9</a><br/><br/>#ai #journalism #paper 2024-10-30T09:49:48Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsthnvfvxwzr879j02ctg204whuftx0jhrp9wylhexly04sx3ppjqczyzvmmj2rdgmer9re8t4zjs68rla3g9xlp4ljw4gue856yn6s2yczk2rhukv Via <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1psarfgt80qj428x4nhmn2g5j54kpr8lyyqpu8ljwdcjrjl3d0hds3wj5uh" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>404 Media</span> (<span class="italic">npub1psa…j5uh</span>)</a></span>:<br/><br/>Epic Games is transforming the popular and partly free Sketchfab platform into Fab - a consolidated marketplace.
