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.

OKLCH is widely supported in all modern browsers.[1] My easiest winning point with getting teams to start with OKLCH is that we can 'programmatically' control the color shades and tints by tinkering with numbers/values. To the designers (who don't write codes), I tell them that they can now focus on choosing the key colors (primary, accent, etc.) and then let CSS do the magic.

A good friend maintains a tool to tinker with various shades/tint of colors with OKLCH https://colorcolor.in
