What are CSS Color Level 4 spaces (LCH, Oklch)?

Updated Apr 28, 2026

Short answer

Modern CSS introduces perceptual color spaces like LCH and Oklch, which map closely to human vision and allow access to larger gamuts.

Deep explanation

Unlike RGB or HSL, LCH maintains uniform lightness across hues. Modifying the hue of yellow and blue in HSL changes perceived brightness. In LCH/Oklch, lightness is mathematically isolated, making dynamic theming and accessible contrasts significantly easier.
