#12looks nice! unfortunately when I try to select a color from the wheel, the line switches to a horizontal position (dark blue o----o bright orange) and gets stuck there :( [Android 7.1.2, Chrome 73]
Would definitely like more 12 options.

#13Good job and Good luck.
Thanks!

#14I have to say I like this - great design, easy to operate, etc.
I think something needs to be done to better indicate "other wheel selections" (ie - to move to "square" or "analogous", etc) - while I discovered it fairly quickly, it wasn't as intuitive as I think it could have been.
Beyond that it's a great tool, and the pricing for the more advanced version is decent. That said, it wouldn't take much for someone to build something like this into say, a VSCode plugin or whatnot, so I'm curious what your plans are to stay ahead of that possibility?

#15I like many things about it, but I think having it default to a red-green complimentary combo is a little iffy. Those of us who are colorblind (and we're 12% of the male population, and 0.5% of the female!) will have a lot of trouble seeing it clearly. Maybe just have it start on square instead? Or maybe have the line start out horizontally between blue and orange instead of vertically between red and green?

#16Including the example images was GENIUS. Love it.
Re: Show HN: A Color Picker I Made
#17Are the examples images supposed to change with the color picker? They seem fixed on red/green, otherwise looks awesome

Works in edge, but not in chrome for me.

#20This looks awesome! Congrats on launching it. First: Don't get bogged down by random HN commenters' feature requests. Second: I have a feature request. I'd love a native version for Mac OS with a magnifying glass thing that allows me to select a color somewhere else on my screen, and then suggest complimentary colors. I'd gladly pay for that!
If you'll accept the step of copying the values into the tool that figures out the complementary colors for you, macOS comes with Digital Color Meter, which will tell you the color of anything on your screen.
