Web color is somehow still a garbage fire.

About a decade ago I was hearing that web-safe color was effectively obsolete. Today Firefox chokes on P3 color, and Chrome doesn't appear to care at all about display color profiles.

I recently launched a website that had a fire-engine red background and was expected to have a rotating animation above the fold (https://worldparkinsonsday.com). Even once we got the animation synced perfectly between Chrome and Safari, it turned out that iOS Safari was rendering the video differently. Eventually I gave up and replaced a 128kb mp4 video with a 5mb transparent animated GIF. Shameful.

And I had this lil' fellah on my desk smiling at me the whole time https://100soft.shop/collections/dumpster-fire/products/dump...
