Hey everyone,

About a year ago I embarked on creating a color scheme for a project and I loved it so much I began using it for everything. I decided to make an official repo for it to share with the world.

Anyhoo, hope y'all enjoy it.

All I see is black text on a white background. I'm using Firefox on Android. I assume it's supposed to show more?

If you can’t scroll down to see various swatch sets grouped by shade then you’re not seeing what you’re supposed to see. Works fine on FF for me but I don’t have Android.

Also using ff on Android.

No problems.

Maybe a broken cache on an edge network serving up a bad asset to only some geographic areas, or something that was served broken for a moment but got cached.

I also see just black text on white, on iOS / Mobile Safari.

I assumed it was a joke, like motherfuckingwebsite.com. But it seems that other people are seeing colors.

Same, with Firefox on a Linux desktop, even after enabling JS.

Edit: apparently it uses Oklab/oklch() [1], which is supposet to work in Firefox since version 113, but does not seem to work in 115. Or possibly it also uses something else that breaks it.

It uses CSS nesting[1] (think SCSS) which requires Firefox 117 and Chrome 120 for full support[2]

Same on FF 50 on Linux.

I don't know how to call people who ignore backwards-compatibility. My sites work on IE6 if needed.
