What I'd like to see are each of the palettes used in context, e.g. as text color on white/black background or as a background highlight for black/white text. It's rare that I need an entire palette of colors outside this context.

AI? Wouldn't they just automate regular colour theory?
(I made colormind.io) Color theory isn't an exact science, you could make random palettes from various color rules but they don't look good (imo). as an experiment, try this: go on https://color.adobe.com and click on one of the color rules (it will give you a random palette based on the rule) now compare with a palette from https://coolors.co/ or https://color.adobe.com/explore/ (user-uploaded) if color theory + reg…
Thanks for the reply, I dove a bit more into it after making this comment and read some of the pages on your site discussing the process and practical application. Really interesting stuff and I appreciate the effort going into explaining it all. I guess I underestimated the depth of the problem space. Even while writing my comment I got to thinking about how colour theory would account for subjectivity and outlying pallettes that work well but don't have obvious relationships between vibrant colours.
That got me wondering if the process going on for colourmind could be turned into a new theory on colour. Is there a way to boil the process down into a deterministic one, or do you feel like the neural network is accomplishing something that couldn't be refined into a "rule" or guidline to use in a regular theory?

#53Genuinely curious, as a non-designer, I don't understand what this offers over existing palettes websites [1]. Anyone care to enlighten? [1] e.g. http://www.colourlovers.com/ , http://www.color-hex.com/color-palettes/
I think it's obvious that it doesn't offer anything different besides that it's another option than those sites. CL for example has palletes that aren't as easily copied and for the most part are used a lot inside their own system.

I like colourlovers.com as well. Feels more organic, less engineered. And those palettes are easier to use, since they are reduced down to a theme, rather than having a 20 color palette with no overarching theme.
That is just me speaking as a non-designer. It's much easier for me to say... go in and find a theme for Cinquo de Mayo in Color Lovers, then try to infer it from these flat palettes.

it's hard to say because GANs are still black boxes. There's a lot of research into explainable ANNs that gives some explanation as to how the NN arrived at a particular conclusion, so I think it should be possible in the future.
