#2I used to use this site: https://www.colourlovers.com/palettes but I see it's become a bit bloated. It used to look more like colorhunt

#3I'm not being difficult, but how is this different / better than the other similar sites?
I'm not seeing / feeling anything compelling. Is it because I'm in a small screen device?

#4Are the palettes Free? I did not see a license, for instance under About.

I'm no lawyer but I expect this to fall below the threshold of originality[1] or 'Schöpfungshöhe'.

I feel comfortable with simplicity and minimality in the interface.

This is from About page:
"Each palette is a public property and not owned by a specific creator, nor by Color Hunt."

Seriously, why is this upvoted so much? There are dozens, if not hundreds, of color palette sites out there.

#9DO visit quadibloc's color page,
http://www.quadibloc.com/other/colint.htm
It is one of those pages that has been around forever and keeps getting better. I was glad to discover it years ago (it had a grey background then, how old does that make me?) and its intriguing re-organizations of the author's own 240 hue color wheel loosely based on the Munsell system,
http://www.quadibloc.com/other/images/240ccf.gif
that is a mighty fine hue base for a color picker. It embodies the author's human perception of color. For example -- compared to raw RGBspace, the massive area of green is relegated to a smaller area, and the small area of violet is expanded. Also the space between red/yellow is expansive enough that once you branch off these hues into tangents of lightness and saturation, you can pick better flesh tones, more vibrant pastels, and fewer 'muck-yuck' tones such as the ones you get most often when you poke randomly into RGB space.

#10I used to like these sites, but after doing a bit more design work I've realised they're never enough. You need a bunch of different shades for each colour, a set of neutrals, and set of complimentary colours too (and that's just the colours).
Give me a 30 colour generator then I might be interested
