Last week, I published a chapter about color. It's fairly comprehensive:

Very good! Tangential: olo

Oh wild.

Neat! You could add one extra little piece of information: Our eyes see colors (400-700 nm) partly because water, where life began, lets these wavelengths through best. Evolution tuned our vision to the light that travels farthest underwater, shaping what we see today! 🌊👀

Interesting, I didn't know that.

Saw it pas by here some time ago, here’s that original post, with a cool picture.

Great read Dan, I’ve DM-you about spectral.js a MIT licensed paint like color mixing library which you might find interesting

@OneDayOfCrypto Looks very cool.

I love absolutely everything about the design of your website sir

Thanks Dermot.

Appreciate the kind words.

That's the long term plan for sure. Just need to get digital one done first.

@abdibrokhim Good luck to your retinas

I love colors! I’m gonna finish my reading stack today. This would be the first.

wow, signed up for newsletter wth I want this book now

I use to scrap your design/color/explainer tweets to an Excel because I feared I would lose your contents. This is gem!

Haha well thanks. They are all still on my @typefully profile:

@typefully 🫨 Instant bookmark! Thanks for creating these beautiful stuffs for the world!

woah love it! can you link that newYork font?

every single detail about this is so beautiful. im working on something (different but slightly related) to help people explore and digest topics they're interested in. your work is super inspiring: just joined the mailing list. excited to see more. i'd love to know: - how do you make sure to cover most concepts beginners tend to get confused about? - how do you find demand/locate curious people? (or do you think it's more about generating demand than finding?)

absolutely cracked work

design clean af🙌🏻

This was a great read, the only sad part is that I didn't realize that the rest of the chapters are not available yet!

Dan you are absolute gem, this is wonderful. Thank you for putting this out!

Absolutely love the way you explained the terms especially th Color Gamut and standard illuminants... It's a 10/10 from me... 👍😊💯 Really awesome 👌 job @DanHollick 🤩👏✨

WOW - found gold today 🫡

still such a gorgeous design. will def read later, great job

Gorgeous work on the diagrams. How are you making them?

Just in Figma, the hard way.

Your website is insanely beautiful!

Best thing I've seen in a long time

this was such a pleasant read, can't wait for Making Software

Reading it now

You have incredible color conceptual visulisations! Thank you so much for your time and effort. BTW, is OKLch really considered a "color space" on its own? I mean, doesn't it only code color in a certain way? It does not seem to have any "primaries" or "white point" or "gamma"? Does it?

It is a color space, yeah. It uses Pointer's Gamut and a D65 white point but it gets a bit confusing with device independent color spaces.

the visuals are so well done, really good read

haven't read yet, but the amount of effort put here looks interesting.

Oh man I’ve been looking for something like this

Incredible work!

Such a great article. Lot of new insights and thats all new to me🙌

these are the kind of websites I admire these days 💯
