Really great introductory article on color space in general, I really appreciate that they touched on perceptual uniformity and how we all perceive colors differently. It’s great to find out that applications like Oklab came out recently to fix this by manipulating the distances between colors to try compensate for human perception while also being more straightforward to calculate so that it can be used in real-time applications. Also the UI of this blog post was so aesthetically pleasing, that it was worth burning my retinas with the light mode

What an excellent article. I can't think of anything (except the very esoteric) that it did not cover.

If I had to criticize, I wish it had talked a bit more about printer color profiles (although in this paperless, web-world we live in, perhaps printing is in fact esoteric).

Unlike displays, a printer can't be simply defined with three primaries and a white point. Printer profiles can be quite large as they rely on someone having printed out a copious number of swatches on a given paper type and then measured (with some kind of colorimeter) device independent color values for each swatch. Those are used to build a large table for mapping from device independent color spaces to the printer's gamut.

Those large tables make the profile so large. And then of course interpolation is still required when mapping from a device independent color space to the printer profile.

What was shocking to me was just how small the gamut of a printer typically is when seen alongside that of a decent display.

Consider that, in print, you'll never see an image as vivid as you can display on a nice, modern display. (And then consider that there are colors in nature so vivid that even a modern display cannot represent them. Just look at how much color is outside the triangle on the CIE "shark fin" color representation.)
