Me, five minutes ago: surely *I* will not be surprised
Me, now: ok Temani got me
I read https://moultano.wordpress.com/2026/06/19/where-to-find-the-colors-your-screen-cant-show-you/ last week and despite some muddiness around “color” as measurable stimulus vs “color” as subjective experience, I really enjoyed it. It got me thinking about adding primaries. Today I learned: people are on the case: https://en.ubiresearchnet.com/multi-primary-color-display-technology-2026/
IMAGES is angry and beautiful.
RE: @sturobson@front-end.social
I love it when CSS enables designing dynamic systems w/ defined relationships and constraints, rather than static values and artifacts
- media queries → responsive layouts
- clamp() and viewport-relative units → dynamic typographic scales
- oklch/lab, color-mix(), and contrast-color() → dynamic color schemes
Hey, you! You there, looking at a screen. You should read a little Wendell Berry today. And think (and be challenged) about your values, and work, and tools; your one precious life on this one precious earth. And – perhaps, if you are very brave – you might think a little about death.
RIP Wendell Berry.

RE: @chriskirknielsen@front-end.social
Seems like every time I see @jaffathecake@mastodon.social is working on something these days I:
1. hadn't even considered the problem
2. now find it blindingly obvious, kind of an emergency!??
3. oh right, good, Jake is on the case

@matthiasott @Wilto I was going to call this bear slander… black bears are chill, majestic, and generally mind their business (berries)… but I did get stalked by one last summer and interacted with it in much the same way as I would any android device (shouting “hey [google|bear]!”, banging my cook pot, and chucking rocks at it)
Beyond art direction and responsive loading... -as-poster would allow video posters to have their own accessible name. Which is great!
📝 I wrote a thing about color spaces in general and oklab()/oklch() in particular.

@burnitdown@beige.party It's good! it means you can just write "auto" instead of baking layout information into your markup, when authoring responsive images w/ srcset & sizes. Note: only works for lazy-loaded images.

@KrijnHoetmer@mastodon.social Cool post!
![]()
s don't rotate with writing direction, so as a rule, don't use logical properties to size them (but do use logical properties for ![]()
margins... padding and border are maybe more context dependent...?) https://codepen.io/eeeps/pen/gbLPLJb

@maxleibman If you require multi-user Pack permissions, a custom Den implementation, or Alpha-level support SLAs _contact us_.

He's our first foster, but I'm not sure how much longer we're going to be able to host him. I really (really) don't want to return him to the Humane Society. https://www.wagtopia.com/search/pet?id=2684301&name=Hopscotch

@5t3ph@front-end.social either no one ever told me about object-fit: scale-down, or I'd forgotten about it; in either case I am furious.
Thank you!
Replying to
@matthiasott@mastodon.social Thank you! It took some time (I learned a lot about three.js!) but a fun thing about blogging is there are no deadlines and you don’t have to cut corners.

@trs@metasocial.com Of all the statements I make that's one of the ones I'm shakiest on – so I might have things wrong. But I think we're on the same page; if we're 8x more sensitive (or whatever) to that green than that blue, and they have the same apparent lightness, that means there is 8x more light being emitted by the blue swatch. I think. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminous_efficiency_function

@mirabilos@toot.mirbsd.org hm! I’m not by a computer but I’ll try to replicate later. Thanks for the tip.

@stl8k@hci.social I’m still just starting to wrap my head around how HDR integrates with all of this. Thanks for the links!
Replying to
@foolip@mastodon.nu Thanks! And yeah there are many interesting things about its shape; even the basic stuff like “if you want a *really* chromatic dark color in P3 it’ll have to be blue, magenta or red; if you want a chromatic light color it’ll have to be green, cyan or yellow.” Also, @matthiasott@mastodon.social just introduced me to https://hueplot.ardov.me/ which lets you take different sorts of cross-sections and compare gamuts by viewing their outlines simultaneously – check it out!
Replying to
@matthiasott@mastodon.social @ardov@mastodon.social No! Those are awesome!! They know *way* more about three.js than me!!! (lol) Thanks for sharing!

@knowler@sunny.garden lol. I was thinking about https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reBzU8E_Ajk but this also works!

@mia@front-end.social That means a ton and thank *you,* particularly for some key conversations over the years that helped me see just how provisional and patchy my understanding of all of this stuff was (and is [color is fake]).

@spiralganglion@mastodon.social Thanks for taking the time to read it! (4,000 words is no joke!)

@mttkng@masto.98degrees.co.uk It is *such* a rabbit hole (hence, all the links). Thanks!
Replying to
@jni@fosstodon.org that’s what all of those color appearance models (like CAM-16, that OKLAB is in part derived from) are trying to do: adding all of the viewing conditions and context as extra domensions. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_appearance_model
