I read https://moultano.wordpress.com/2026/06/19/where-to-find-the-colors-your-screen-cant-show-you/ last week and despite some muddiness around “color” as measurable stimulus vs “color” as subjective experience, I really enjoyed it. It got me thinking about adding primaries. Today I learned: people are on the case: https://en.ubiresearchnet.com/multi-primary-color-display-technology-2026/

RE: https://front-end.social/@sturobson/117048499436111690 I love it when CSS enables designing dynamic systems w/ defined relationships and constraints, rather than static values and artifacts - media queries → responsive layouts - clamp() and viewport-relative units → dynamic typographic scales - oklch/lab, color-mix(), and contrast-color() → dynamic color schemes

RE: https://front-end.social/@svoisen/117196556306868906 Hey, you! You there, looking at a screen. You should read a little Wendell Berry today. And think (and be challenged) about your values, and work, and tools; your one precious life on this one precious earth. And – perhaps, if you are very brave – you might think a little about death. RIP Wendell Berry. https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazine/browse?volume=110&amp;issue=3&amp;page=15
