Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

This post goes over CSS color animation techniques, specifically addressing the challenge of creating smooth color shifts. It highlights the limitations of using RGB for color transitions, which can result in washed-out, greyish intermediate colors due to how browsers calculate these transitions. CSS filters like `hue-rotate()` are a more performant solution that avoids these issues, offering a more vibrant color shift.
