      Ohh, since tight line-heights like `line-height: 1` usually result in negative leading, something like `text-box: trim-both text` will actually increase the size of the box, since it 'trims' the negative leading. TIL.

      Does anyone ever feel limited by the visible light spectrum? All we can use in our designs is various shades of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, magenta and grey. We could really do with another one for our design system.
