2025-04-28
This article details a 12-bit rainbow palette designed for National Grid: Live. The palette consists of twelve colors carefully chosen considering human perception of luminance, chroma, and hue. Using a 12-bit color depth, each color requires only four hexadecimal characters, making it efficient for use in CSS or SVG. The design addresses the limitations of standard RGB palettes by leveraging the LCH color space, resulting in a visually pleasing and smoothly transitioning rainbow spectrum. This palette offers both efficiency and aesthetic appeal.
