Modern CSS Color Studio: OKLCH, P3 Gamut, WCAG Contrast & Palettes
Explore, convert, and harmonize modern CSS color spaces including OKLCH, OKLAB, Display P3, LCH, LAB, HSL, RGB, and Hex. Test WCAG 2.2 / APCA accessibility contrast ratios and generate perceptually uniform color palettes.
How Client-Side Processing Works
Every step executes within your browser runtime without network calls or cloud storage.
- 1Color values are parsed into perceptual CIE LAB and OKLCH color models.
- 2Gamut mapping algorithms detect whether vibrant P3 colors fall outside the standard sRGB gamut and calculate nearest clips.
- 3Relative luminance formulas calculate precise contrast ratios against light and dark backgrounds for WCAG AA/AAA compliance.
- 4Palette generators produce harmonious monochromatic, complementary, and triadic shades with perceptually uniform lightness steps.
Common Workflows & Use Cases
Build future-proof design tokens and theme palettes using the perceptually uniform OKLCH color space supported across modern browsers.
Verify that text, buttons, and UI elements meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA (4.5:1) and Level AAA (7:1) contrast requirements.
Unlock vibrant, eye-popping shades on OLED and Apple Retina displays while ensuring safe fallbacks for standard sRGB monitors.
Generate consistent lightness shades and accessible UI color ramps for frontend component libraries like Tailwind CSS.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I use OKLCH instead of traditional HSL or Hex?
In HSL, changing hue or saturation unintentionally changes perceived brightness (yellow looks much brighter than blue at the same lightness). OKLCH is perceptually uniform: a lightness value of 0.7 feels equally bright across every hue, making accessible palettes easy to build.
What is Display P3 wide gamut?
Display P3 can show approximately 50% more color shades than standard sRGB, especially in vivid greens, reds, and oranges. Modern smartphones, laptops, and tablets support Display P3 natively.
Does this tool calculate WCAG 2.2 contrast compliance?
Yes. It calculates exact contrast ratios and provides clear pass/fail indicators for WCAG 2.2 AA and AAA levels for normal text, large text, and graphical UI components.
