OKLCH: a color model based on OKLab (a perceptually uniform color space) where you control Lightness, Chroma (saturation), and Hue.

"OK" because "it does an ok job" according to its creater Björn Ottosson.

He’s Swedish, so I bet OK is actually short for “Ottossons kulör” but he’s just being modest.

In the spirit of "Oll Korrekt", "Otto's Kolors"?

How do you pronounce it, btw? "Oklich"? "okay L.C.H."?
