-Prettypretty is a Python package for building awesome terminal user interfaces.
+Prettypretty is a Python package for building awesome terminal user interfaces
+that incorporates a powerful, and *general*, color library. The near seemless
+integration of 1970s archaic but beloved ANSI escape codes for terminal styling
+with 2020s color science, notably via the [Oklab perceptual color
+space](https://bottosson.github.io/posts/oklab/), is unique to prettypretty
+and makes the package truly awesome!
