These look cool! Is there a way to get.. more colors? Eg, i'd like to use this for some themes editor themes, but i need a couple backgrounds, foregrounds, etcetc. Maybe 10 colors would do, hard to say.
Thoughts?

#52sorry for the stupid question, but how do you "apply" color palettes? i mean, sure they look great as colorful columns, but how do you put them into UI? let say Bootstrap. i tried using 1st color for button, 2nd color for "success" label, etc. it ended up ugly.
This is what I'd want as well. Bootstrap is a good example of color application as they define SASS variables to action states: By default: primary == dark blue success == green warning == orange info == light blue danger == red Then the rest of the styling for the theme is calculated from that, so you have other elements defined as: whatever the primary color is but 40% darker. What I'd love is a color palette picke…
Warning danger info success each carry some specific meaning. I would keep the colors standard (yellow red blue green) but match the saturation to the of the pallette.
Primary and secondary are usually for backgrounds of major elements, detail elements to draw attention to. The other 3 colors should be boring but pleasant. For subtle variation without drawing attention to the elements

it's possible, but the main challenge would be to make a sufficient sample of 10-color palettes to train on.
I am making something that disambiguates between foreground and background, but still 5 colors for now.

#54This is a very naive question, but considering the artifacts you have on the GAN-generated images, you are trying to generate the whole "palette image" at a certain resolution.
For which reasons did you not use a 5x1 pixel RGB image as the target, that would have been orders of magnitude faster to train?
Thanks!

that's a great question! The main reason is that pix2pix works at a set resolution by default, and changing it is non-trivial. I'm actually not sure how to structure the Unet for a 5x1 image - if you have any ideas let me know (I'm a beginner at this)
Speed improvement also doesn't scale linearly with input size. Eg. there's only a 5x improvement going from 256x256 to 256x1
