Gneiss Name explains the Oklab perceptual color space using Minecraft as the medium. The video shows why perceptual uniformity matters for color work and how Oklab achieves it.

HN people recommend it because it explains color spaces and Oklab more clearly than other sources, despite the unusual Minecraft setting.

“did a nice job of explaining color spaces and Oklab in particular in a way that clarified things for me”

It probably sounds silly, but this minecraft youtuber did a nice job of explaining color spaces and Oklab in particular in a way that clarified things for me: ▶ this video
