<p>I fully agree and support what you say.</p>
<p>A first step would be to do #experimentsTowardsANewColorPalette
in OkLCH. Next step would be a Morphic color picker based on that.
Anyone wanting some color fun should try to build this!</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>

<div dir="auto">While we’re on this subject, allow me to point out
for future consideration that there’s a modern approach to
themes using the perceptually uniform color space that I posted
about last week (OKCLH). It’s easy to implement. We shouldn’t
use RGB or HSL for themes (designers seem to be saying this,
lately). See for example
<div><a
href="https://evilmartians.com/chronicles/better-dynamic-themes-in-tailwind-with-oklch-color-magic"
moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext">https://evilmartians.com/chronicles/better-dynamic-themes-in-tailwind-with-oklch-color-magic</a></div>
<div dir="auto">This allows to customize themes by changing only
the hue (only one dimension) instead of moving all parameters
simultaneously. It also allows to make themes that can work
well in both dark and light modes. And simplifies the
specification of different shades by changing only the
lightness parameter. Currently we hand-tweek shades (for
different states of buttons, for example) by hand in one
particular theme, and if we switch to other colors sometimes
they don’t work well (see the contrast problem exemplified in
that page with HSL, that goes away with OKCLH). I think we
should at some point consider moving to OKCLH, and we should
also pay more attention to what web designers are doing, and
what is being adopted in browsers and in the newest
specification of CSS, etc.</div>

<br>
Thanks much for this.<br>
<br>
I have not been a user of Themes myself, but might suggest
doing a <br>
better UI for adding colors.<br>
<br>
If you `Feature require: 'UI-MetaProperties' you will see
purple <br>
selections in Morph Menus.<br>
<br>
The idea here is that you can "single click" brings up an
editor to <br>
change the value and one can also drag a value and drop it
on another <br>
menu item to set it for the target Morph.<br>
<br>
If you click select #color: or #borderColor: you will get a
choice of <br>
named Color Palettes or a Color Editor.<br>
<br>
You can drag a color from a Color Palette or the Color
Editor onto a <br>
color type menu-item or between color menu-items of
different Morphs.<br>
<br>
Anyway, just wanted to point out that there is code you can
use to <br>
display color choices and use Drag 'n Drop rather than
typing in hex <br>
color strings.<br>
<br>
I am a visual thinker and doing things visually makes more
sense to me.<br>
<br>
Again, great start at this! Fun to see!<br>
<br>
Good on ya,<br>
