This gave me immediate nostalgia for the NES game "Color a Dinosaur" -- thanks for the little trip down memory lane!

#12Unfortunately if the window height is much less than about 900px, or if I zoom in, the controls overlap the gradient-wrapper (and some of the image).

#13Another cool webapp is Coolors https://coolors.co/app
I use it a lot when I need to pick colors for a project.

Re: Show HN: A little web app for playing around with colors
#16While I acept the significance of complementary colors, the significance of triadic, split complementary, analogous and split complementary is open to debate. One issue is that almost all discussion of co called Colour harmony is around hue. Yet no hue exists without a lightness and saturation value, which have their own impact upon the aesthetic design.
More broadly, Colour harmony is something of a bogus science, with its roots in the very beginnings of Colour science. Newton himself added an seventh Colour to his hue wheel just So that Colour would be anagous to musical scale. It didn’t stop there... Goethe, Itten and Kandinsky all followed suite. All claimed that Colour could be subject to high-order ‘good contrast’ known as harmony. As an art student, this bogus thinking was nothing but damaging, and took me years to shake off.

#18Look like it doesn't work on Safari (or at least Safari Version 13.0 (15608.1.37) on Catalina). The buttons are below the viewport and I can't scroll to them. It worked fine in Chrome.
Confirmed on Safari 12.1.1--albeit different than you mention. Things work fine if I'm fullscreen on a 15", but if I reduce the window size, I see the color palette & buttons cover the image with no option to minimize or move them.

#19Interesting idea @longsangstan--I played around with it for a while and liked how the colors would change on reload or palette click. I often muck around with colors using the Chrome debug tools, but it would be interesting to have something like this pop up as a dev plug-in with assignable sections/classes/ids so I could tweak things on the fly and o/p CSS--if that doesn't exist already.

#20Looks pretty cool! I was delighted to see that the page loaded almost instantly, and the transitions, spring animations, all work super smoothly ! I’m usually frustrated with Material Design components because they « feel » slow for some reason, but this implementation works perfectly.
It's using Animate.css by Daniel Eden: https://daneden.github.io/animate.css/
Yes. I also used a react library called Pose: https://popmotion.io/pose/
