You can use OKLch and APCA with that huetone website. See the gear icon in top right.

I don't think your efforts are obsolete though, the 2 approaches could be combined IIUC your approach is based on computing values based on color science, and the tool/website is a more visual approach, it won't design the colorscheme for you, but you can use it to validate the colorscheme, or tweak it after the fact.

Oh awesome! I didn’t have time to look that deep into it, sorry for missing that part.

Switching to OKLab actually reveals how narrow the bands of available colours can be in the different dimensions and how difficult it would probably be to hand-pick the colours that I’ve chosen. I agree now that they’re probably more complementary.

It would be awesome if the tool allowed you to set constraints like the ones I used.

Not my project, but the source code seems to be here https://github.com/ardov/huetone

If it seems useful to you try reaching out to them on a GitHub issue and see whether they'd be willing to implement the missing features or collaborate with you in another way.
