CSS levels up: the HWB colour model

Read Original

This article explains the HWB (Hue, Whiteness, Blackness) color model, a new format proposed in the CSS Colors Module Level 4 draft. It describes how HWB is more intuitive than HSL, how it works by mixing a base hue with white and black, and provides the basic CSS syntax for using it, along with a link to a demo repository.
