Description Nikita Vasilyev 2021-03-24 12:44:41 PDT 
The current color picker's UI is HSV-based [1]

    +------Saturation-----
    |
    |
    |
    | 
    |
    |
    | Lightness (or Value, as V in HSV)


LCH (also known as HCL) is in many ways more useful than HSV (or HSL). See https://hclwizard.org

I propose to show LCH based color picker than clicking on lch() or lab color:

    +------Chroma-----
    |
    |
    |
    | 
    |
    |
    | Luminance
