Aside from a few criticisms that others have already raised I think this is quite a nice introduction to OKLCH and how to use them in CSS. With that out of the way, I'd like to go on a tangent here: can anyone explain the modern trend of not including publishing dates in blog articles? It stood out to me here in particular because the opening sentence said that "OKLCH is a newer color model" and the "newer" part of that sentence will get dated quicker than you think. The main site does mention a date, but limits it to "August 2025" so this seems like a conscious choice and I just don't get it. [0] https://jakub.kr/ |

In such cases, I usually try to see if the `Last-Modified` header served with the HTML document over HTTP, can be useful, but I conclude that often the same people who don't bother with dating their content -- you'd think they'd understand where the word _blog_ comes from, as in "[web]-log" where timestamps are paramount -- these same people don't know or care how HTTP works. Hint: the `Last-Modified` is the last modification time of the _resource_, in this case the actual HTML document. Just because your "backend" re-rendered the content because you didn't bother with setting up your server caching correctly, doesn't mean you should pretend it's a brand new content every day (which https://jakub.kr/components/oklch-colors does, unfortunately, so you won't know the timestamp from HTTP).
