| During my last job building and maintaining a design system
| across all sorts of hardware, I became a fan of designing
| perceptually uniform palettes. It's a good approach for
| consistency across UI's, although it has some caveats. We noticed
| that color rendering across device screens could vary rather
| significantly. This problem was less so on higher-end devices,
| with high coverage of P3 or just Rec.207 color gamuts.
|
| On devices with cheaper displays, colors wouldn't render at equal
| perceived lightness across all hues. On one of our devices,
| greens rendered particularly light and desaturated. This had some
| downstream effects and made me question blindly following WCAG
| contrast guidelines. I ended up using contrast ratios along with
| eye-checks to verify designs.
|
| Despite its flaws, following WCAG recommendations and aiming for
| CIELAB perceptually uniform palettes was helpful. Even if they
| aren't perfect, they get us closer to an ideal, measurable
| solution. I personally never used HSLuv. Instead, I worked off
| some CIELAB tools I found online. There was one powerful and
| easy-to-use tool, but I couldn't find it.

| There's a similar Open Source tool here: https://cielab.io A
| pretty, but paid option: https://atmos.style Another option:
