Feedback for mobile safari - it would be helpful if the wheel was fixed to the top of the window (position:sticky?). Not the end of the world to scroll, but there’s quite a bit of back and forth as-is.

#42One suggestion, make the two circles in the color wheel that you can drag slightly different (at least). Maybe just line thickness, shape, filled/open something to note that dragging one will produce the opposite results from the other. Maybe make only one of them draggable?
I know it doesn't really work this way, but I only figured out by accident that dragging to the orange/blue vs blue/orange produced totally different results.

#45I 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?

Offtopic, but why is there such a disparity in the percentage of colour blind people between the male and the female population?

The thing is, these genes are in XY chromosome in males, and thus we only have a single copy for each of these genes. Women have two copies of each gene, so even if one goes wrong, the remaining one can express the cones.
Funny thing is woman with a defective gen usually just goes unnoticed, but the defective gen in some cases can express a fourth kind of cone with a peak sensitivity between M and L cones, allowing them to perceive colors that usual humans can't perceive.
