HSL and hex colours are defined in the sRGB colour space, which is not perceptually uniform — a 10 % lightness change looks dramatically different depending on the hue. This makes creating accessible, harmonious palettes by hand extremely difficult. oklch corrects this: adjusting the L channel produces the same perceived brightness change regardless of hue or chroma, making it far easier to build accessible colour ramps, dark-mode palettes, and consistent hover/active states.
Check whether the CSS colour tokens use oklch() or a perceptually uniform colour space, or whether they use hsl/hex which may produce inconsistent perceived lightness across hues.
Convert the colour token palette from hsl/hex to oklch, ensuring the lightness (L) axis is consistent across all hues in the same shade step.
Explain what perceptual uniformity means in colour spaces, why oklch is better than hsl for design systems, and how the L, C, H channels map to human colour perception.
Review CSS custom properties for colour tokens. Flag palette definitions in hsl or hex that use hardcoded values without a systematic lightness ramp, especially if they are intended to be interchangeable shade steps.
