What are the recent advances in color science which led you here? I will say that your color palettes look like they are out of a structural color publication.

Not the author, but I guess that's mainly referencing Oklab (and everything that lead to its creation).

Correct, OKlab is nothing fundamentally new in terms of the underlying science as it’s based mainly on CIECAM16, but it makes working with perceptual distances of colours a lot more user friendly.
