See Oklab colorspace for an attempt at fairer perceptual brightness: https://bottosson.github.io/posts/oklab/

Oklab is mentioned in the article as also being flawed in this sense.

  • I was looking out for a mention of Oklab and didn't see it while reading. If anyone else is wondering, you have to click on the [1] footnote to see it.

A significant mis-step - naively eschewed actual lightness, the thing that dictates what people actually perceive, because people outside the field regularly conflate brightness and lightness.
