They are switching from sRGB to OKLCH.

First time I heard of OKLCH tbh. Anyone know if that is part of a wider adoption trend or is Tailwind pioneering here?

Looking at the examples it does seem to offer some advantages; but was primarily surprised that they now use it as a default.

First, note that all colors in sRGB can be losslessly converted to OKLch (but not the other way around), so I don't know if this actually changes the colors or not.

The reason to use OKLch is so that when using CSS color mixing (via animations, gradients, etc), they look "better", as indicated by the sibling comments.
