The palette doesn't seem perceptually uniform, i.e. the contrast ratios of each tint vs. white/black aren't the same across all colors. Did your try analysing the palette in https://huetone.ardov.me/ ?
The gray palette would make a good Emacs colorscheme. By the way, great web site! [0]. Been quite a while since I thought that. [0] https://webb.page
Ayy, thank you! Does Emacs support oklch? I wish Sublime Text did but it doesn't (otherwise I'd have a few themes launch with this as well).
All I see is black text on a white background. I'm using Firefox on Android. I assume it's supposed to show more?
I don't know how to call people who ignore backwards-compatibility. My sites work on IE6 if needed.
Please.
Is there any reason to use the word uchu? It seems like almost everything (colour schemes, AI models, startups, tools, apps, ...) is named using a single randomly-selected Japanese word these days. But... why?
Does it bother you to have a product name like Galaxy or Forester? It seems very odd to me that somebody would complain about single-word product names. Or are you complaining about the origin language? Or are you just jealous that somebody is using a two-syllable word instead of something like Navigator? Or perhaps you are peeved it isn't a single-syllable name like Chrome. Is a word like Ubuntu ok if it isn't Japan…
> Or do you mean that words like Twitter and Yahoo should be phased out and everything should just be a single letter like X?
Yes. Apart from my children, who will be named things like X Æ A-Xii.

I'm almost 50. And I have a big problem with my display, even during the day I run it at 0% brightness. During the night it's really way too bright. This is why I use dark mode. I also sometimes reduce the contrast but this messes up colour accuracy in a bad way. I agree it's not really a content issue as much as a hardware issue. LCD screens have a limited backlight range and seem to be optimised for peak brightness…
Yeah, I'm at the point where I'm looking at manually positioning/removing one of those full-screen dimming filters so I can use my monitor past 7pm. And 90% of the time if a screen goes really dim it does so with savage PWM.
Luckily my display doesn't do that. It's also very hard to figure out through reviews so I'm glad it doesn't.
I was thinking about such a filter. But I haven't seen them for sale, I just know they exist (I was thinking about ND filters used in photography). But I wasn't sure if they exist at this size.

Other candidates with easily pronounceable romanizations (from an Anglophone perspective) that are more culturally proximate than Japanese: Italian, Spanish, Russian, Hawai'ian

The Chinese (on e.g. AliExpress) do this, too. With... mixed results. Small typo's, for example. Intentional (NOKlA) or not. Or, case in point: "NICGIGA is a technology enterprise focusing on communication network products. We have a perfect R&D team and Reliability laboratory."
> Intentional (NOKlA) I'm not sure what your point is exactly, but fwiw, Nokia is the name of the Finnish town from which the Nokia company originates. They used to make rubber products such as rubber boots. I once had a bike with Nokia branded inner tyres (same logo, just without the "Connecting People" payoff). There's absolutely nothing Japanese about the word "Nokia", except maybe in the eye (ear?) of the beholde…
