"The illusion where increased saturation (or chroma) of a color is perceived as an increase in the color's lightness."
But that is notably wrong. Lightness is a tonal metric (closer to white, more lightness) and is defined as such on that site as well.
In the H-K effect, emitted light of greater saturation (less lightness) is perceived as higher luminance (brighter) than emitted light of greater lightness.
A more accurate statement would be "The effect whereby colors of greater saturation than, but equal luminance to, a less saturated reference color are perceived to be of greater luminance that the reference color." (I'm sure that could be tightened up.)
A very different thing.
Today I don't use any "super specialized" tooling for task management. Intentionally. I don't like being wedded to any given app. My tools are Apple Reminders (universal for my family since we're all on Apple devices) and Obsidian (or really just plain text / markdown, accessed currently through obsidian).
Lots of thoughts about all this but in short there were some good ideas I took from GTD (universal capture being the biggest, but that's not really a GTD unique idea) but most of it I've jettisoned.
(my obsidian / markdown usage is basically "take notes, sometimes notes become projects, those projects automatically show up in a dashboard" and mixing notes, content, and tasks organically)
As my eyes age I often use Solarized in higher contrast configuration, so I'm sensitive to this issue.
There have been plenty of other color schemes that I think it's safe to say have been inspired by Solarized and this is very satisfying to see. Many of them have done a better job at thinking through the git structure of their projects :)
1) I don't use Solarized everywhere religiously. I use it a LOT, no surprise. Still my preferred color scheme in most editing, terminal, code situations. But I am happy to use other well designed colorschemes in various contexts (writing, task management apps, etc.). Even when Solarized is available, sometimes variety is what's called for.
2) Solarized was designed to enable the colors to be used in high contrast modes as well. As my eyes age I sometimes will apply the colorscheme in a higher contrast mode. This adaptability is sometimes overlooked but it is inherent and intentional to the design.
