New Color Space! - OKHSL
Latest
v1.17
Released
8/6/2025
v1.17.0
- Added OKHSL! This is a perceptually uniform color space designed to align more closely with how humans actually see and interpret color. This makes it perfect for shifting hue, saturation, and lightness because linear shifts will now feel more natural and consistent compared to HSL previously.
- Set OKHSL as the default color space for the reasons above. You still have the freedom to choose any of the available color spaces using the existing dropdown.
- Fixed an issue when generating where shift values were being clipped twice to prevent duplicate white or black colors and are now only clipped once.
- When opening the generator, a random palette will be generated instead of the same orange one.
- Improved the accuracy of slider background colors based on the color space.
- Improved the input handling when typing into slider input fields.
- Updated favicon as SVG with PNG fallback.
- Updated terms of service and privacy policy to be clearer.
- Added a solid border around the update images.
- Fixed an issue where the hue shift slider background colors were offset by 180 degrees.
- Fixed minor CLS on the side navigation. No more CLS!
- Fixed an issue with some dropdowns where the selected dropdown item was not in the selected state.
