#2It's always struck me as odd how there are so many off-white colors in HTML/CSS compared to the rest of the space.

Vagaries of monitor technology and a lack of calibration/the difficulty of calibrating for lighter colours.

You mean all the low-saturation colors you see around the diagonal?

#5I use a similar app called Name That Color — https://chir.ag/projects/name-that-color/#6195ED
I like sharing descriptive names with designers instead of naming everything "light blue" "dark blue" "not quite as light but still not dark blue" etc.
This new thing is tons of fun but seems a bit less practically useful.

Looking some more I think it would be nice if the rotation could be stopped.
Labeling the axis would be nice also.

#8Neat seeing the different shapes the RGB space gets compressed into if you select a different colourspace on the bottom right.

#10Wish there was a way to make it stop spinning, it's practically impossible to figure out adjacent colors because everything keeps moving no matter what you do. Perhaps there is a way, but I didn't find it?
