> colorcurio.us — a directory of color tools, resources, and curios. A colormap browser with OKLCh perceptual diagnostics, an editorially curated library, and four in-house tools.

## About

A place to share neat color stuff, editorially curated — inclusion is not algorithmic. An entry earns its place if it can be described in a sentence that makes a small claim. The colormap browser measures every map in OKLCh (Oklab Lightness-Chroma-Hue): lightness monotonicity, chroma range, hue path, ΔE uniformity, and colorblind safety under protan/deutan/tritan simulation.
