Why is Nobody Using the hwb() Color Function? | CSS-Tricks Okay, nobody is an exaggeration, but have you seen the stats for hwb()? They show a steep decline, and after working a lot on color in the CSS-Tricks almanac, I’ve just been wondering why that is.

What are your go-to color functions? Is hwb() one of them? Why or why not?

A New "Web" Readiness Report | CSS-Tricks HTML 5 Readiness was a site that showed through a rainbow of colors the browser support for several web features. What about a new version?

Mr. @monknow.bsky.social was waxing nostalgic on the HTML5 & CSS Readiness project and decided to make a new one purely for newer web features.

Should be cool: the rainbow grows as features gain support! It'll be fun to take snapshots to see the progression.
