Our algorithm for generating color descriptions works in the [OKLCH](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/color_value/oklch) color space, recently standardized by CSS. This color space offers the advantage of uniform lightness across all hues, unlike HSL, where hues like blue appear significantly darker than hues like green or yellow at the same lightness value. The difference between HSL and OKLCH is shown below.

In HSL, certain hues also appear to shift as the lightness changes — for example, blue tends to shift toward purple as it gets lighter. This would lead to perceptually inaccurate descriptions, where colors that appear purple might be described as blue. OKLCH resolves this issue by maintaining a consistent hue across all lightness levels.
