Neat! No greens returned in https://picular.co/christmas but OTOH I just created palettes called Retro and Grunge for a recent project and they were quite similar to Picular’s choices
Interesting. Same for "cash" or "money".

#15Very fun.
I put in some scientific proteins, and it spits out their common fluorescence staining colors:
ZO1 (stain tight-junctions, often blue): https://picular.co/zo1 (see https://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1399&bi...)
hN1 (a protein usually stained red or green with GFP or mCherry): https://picular.co/hn1 (see https://www.thermofisher.com/antibody/product/HN1-Antibody-P...)

#16This is SUPER DUPER cool!
Re: Google, but for colors
#17In case anyone is wondering how this works, it does a google image search and then extracts the primary color of each result. That’s why you see unexpected colors like grey for “heart”: image search returns black and white hearts.

#18It's funny because if you scroll through Google images fast enough, you will catch glimpse of monochromatic placeholder images for images that haven't loaded yet. The placeholder image seems to be the average color (maybe with some object boxing to reduce contributions from backgrounds and such) inside the image. This website is kind of the opposite in that it presents the placeholder color as if it were the content itself.

#19That the icon changes color is a nice touch. I can see this being useful in generative art.

My first search for "apple" gives you a bunch of greys and a red is only the 8th result. There's more grey, beige, a blue, black, yellow, orange, but only one green and 5 reds total.
Searching "heart" at least gives you a red first and majority reds.
