Generative colors with CSS

I just updated the CSS for my website to use a fork of Kelp UI, which includes a much more consistent and easy-to-maintain class system than I had before. Quick aside: if you see any bugs in your travels, please let me know! While it mostly looks the same as before, the biggest change was to the color palette. I’m now taking advantage of relative colors with the oklch() CSS function to dynamically generate all of the colors used on this site from just six hex codes defined as CSS variables.
