Reminder: CSS hasn't kept up with technology
To be fair technology moves quickly, and thanks to the computers we carry around in our pockets, advancements in screens and colour reproduction has meant the typical way of displaying colours on the web has become limited by HEX & RGB. Our phone and computer screens are now capable of covering the P3 gamut, a wider range the previous sRGB segment of the spectrum. Somehow 16,777,216 colours are no longer enough! The slow roll out of the LCH colourspace is bringing more colours to our screens. LCH (Lightness, chroma and hue) has been around since 1976, and better presents colours similiar to how the human eye perceives them. The two gradient groupings above demonstrate how RGB and LCH vary.

When will the total number of LEGO minifigs produced outnumber the human population
While working on a side project, I began digging into the numbers behind just how big the LEGO minifig population is. There’s a graphic from a few years ago made by XKCD showing minifigs overtaking humans in 2019. However that was over two years ago and since then the LEGO Group has released a couple of big numbers regarding the minifig population, including the rate of growth.
