A brief interlude on color spaces{" "} from stripe.com

I just updated the colour scheme for this website using{" "} contrast-ratio.com, originally created by{" "} Lea Verou but now under a new home. {" "} I wanted to find a good background and font colour to use for this website. For the background colour I am using hsl(50, 100%, 96%) which converts to #fcfff0 and more importantly{" "} hsl(51, 100%, 96%) which{" "} I need to dig into why next. For the font colour #000000 it was shown as hsla(200,0%,0%,.7) {" "} which I simply adjusted by increasing 0.7 to 0.9 to get hsla(200,0%,0%,.9).{" "} The contrast ratio has a score of 16.89 and "Passes AAA level for any size text and AA for user interface components and graphical objects".
