Why didn't you use 0.0 and 1.0 as min and max values?</blockquote>

<div dir="auto">I just followed the specification. The chroma
parameter doesn’t really have an upper limit, I’m not sure
why it was made in this way. In practice, it doesn’t seem to
make a difference to go over 0.5, and CSS uses 0.4 as 100%.</div>

<p>I wasn't clear. Apologies. I mean, in #okl:c:h: I read</p>
<p> min := -0.00001.<br>
max := 1.00001.</p>
<p>I think I'd prefer 0.0 and 1.0, unless there's some reason for
that I don't see.</p>

our Color instances) to <br>
OkLCH? That is really needed too. I'd also want an instance
creation <br>
method that answers nil if parameters lie outside our sRGB
space of <br>
Color instances (i.e. if the OkLCH values can not be
accurately <br>
represented by an instance of Color). Does #okOrNilL:c:h:
sound <br>
reasonable? Any better option? With these two, I could do
something like <br>
#experimentsTowardsANewColorPalette but using this better
color space.<br>

<div dir="auto">Yeah, my idea was to try to do some sort of
parallel protocol for different color spaces, something like
aColor okLChDo: [:L :C :h| …], HSLDo:, etc. Later we could
rethink messages like #hue (that currently returns the HSL
hue, and its different to the OkLCH hue), and I’m not sure
if we should eliminate those methods or make a unifying
choice of a specific color space and coordinates. </div>

At least #okLCHhue, #okLCHluminance and #okLCHchroma are needed as a
first step, it would be great if you could cook those. We can later
decide if we want to keep HSL or not. We may decide to remove it.

<p>Yep. That's good too.</p>

what designers do for these things, I think).</div>

<div dir="auto">Yes, absolutely, I think it would be great.
I’ll try to help with anything necessary, perhaps do it in
small steps so that we don’t break everyones themes.
Hopefully more people will be interested in helping with all
this… it’s a fun project and there are many small parts to
it.</div>
