+# Colour your Emacs with ease

+
+Emacs comes with various themes to pick from, and there are myriad
+different themes out on the Internet. After choosing a theme, you can make
+any adjustments to add or remove certain colours exactly as you wish. Emacs
+provides you so much control over how you work, write, code, and everything
+in between, including the colour choice. You are certainly left equipped
+with all the controls for your theme as well.
+
+However, when it comes to colour, there is a bit of difficulty: RGB.
+Hexadecimal colour codes are ubiquitous and relatively easy to understand.
+Yet, they are difficult to work with, especially when you need to make
+different shades and variants. In recent years, CSS started to support not
+just sRGB (standard RGB), but other colour spaces such as HSL, Oklab, etc.
+With Emacs, we also have a great set of tools from color.el, as well as
+this amazing package called ct.el (<https://github.com/neeasade/ct.el>)
+
+In this talk, we will have a quick look at different colour spaces than
+sRGB, namely HSL and LCH. We will check out how ct.el can make a set of
+colour shades and variants at ease, and how they can help define themes.
+Finally, Ryota will share his own theme called Hasliberg Theme, which is
+using the full power of LCH.

+
+About the speaker:
+
+Ryota started his Emacs journey more than a decade ago, but was forced to
+put it aside for work requirements soon after. A few years ago, he made a
+return to Emacs, and now is using Emacs almost exclusively for any sort of
+coding tasks. This talk focuses on the modern Emacs setup where he thinks
+his Emacs looks and works better than many other editors. He works for Civo
+as a Principal Engineer.

+# Discussion
+
+## Questions and answers
+
+-   Q: Is there any intention to create a library for working with more experimental color spaces? Pulling code out of Hasliberg for this purpose, perhaps?
+    -   A: Started the journey just for myself, and didn't think this
+        would be useful for others.
+    -   A: Making it a library is definitely something that I can think
+        about.
+-   Q: Can we have a dark as well as light theme variations made from your theme?
+    -   A: You can customize the code easily into dark, light and change
+        something based on someone's mood. Keep in mind that it is a
+        personal theme, so customize as you see fit.

+## Notes
+
+- Interesting idea to be inspired from tailwind and
+  frontend dev, thanks for talk
+- [https://github.com/alphapapa/prism.el](https://github.com/alphapapa/prism.el)
+  has some interesting colour experiments as well
+- i felt about same with the christmas tree colored
+  code editor
+- annoyance is a great motivator for learning Emacs Lisp
+- Yay fellow Dvorak user!
+- [https://github.com/rytswd/hasliberg-theme](https://github.com/rytswd/hasliberg-theme)
+- Thank you everyone for tuning in! Also my slides are
+  available at
+  [https://codeberg.org/rytswd/emacsconf-2024](https://codeberg.org/rytswd/emacsconf-2024)
+- Contributing these developments back to ct.el sounds like a really fantastic idea, and I would really love to see it 🙂 I would love to start writing my own themes using this strategy
+- hasliberg-theme-use-dark-nature-colour-palette (and a dark-red variant) is going to be useful for dynamically switching in as I'm working with remote systems e.g. staging and production systems
+- i like that type of usage scenario
+- Fellow orange fan here btw ;)
+- Ryota must have used those old skool CRT terminals that had orange as their primary  colour for orange to be his favourite colour :)
+  - bernstein color we used to say in German for that type of CRT orange
+  - haven't used it myself, but remembering this retro terminal project, which features some nice looking oldschool term/color schemes :) https://github.com/Swordfish90/cool-retro-term
+- rytswd: Thanks for the support everyone! Now the world knows I'm an orange person ;)
+
+- Great talk! Thank you 🙂
+- Excellent talk, thanks!
+- Beautiful theme
+- Thanks :)
+- Awesome job Ryota, thank you for sharing!
