This one uses https://ant.design/. Figured that out with https://www.wappalyzer.com/.

Ah, your comment came in while I was typing. First I've heard of wappalyzer though, I just checked the inspector for interesting tag patterns. Neat!

#15NEW PALETEE
Small typo bang centre of the page, but it is with the help of HN criticism that these things get ironed out.
I thought the product was really nice. If I was to suggest a useful addition and that is to make it software as a service with an API. If you are building an ecommerce catalogue then it is useful to be able to automatically get the colours of products and a third party app with hooks for the likes of Magento could be useful. Of course the algorithms for doing colour palettes can be done with some Imagemagick code but most people are not very aware of how colours work. Even though people use colour pickers and have heard of 'HSV' doing anything algorithmically with images and colours just has this obstacle in the way of programmers not necessarily being into colours - that is for design and the two may never mix!
The interface is clean and can lure people in, put some API together and a few tiers of plans and this could find a niche.

#16nice project. I was looking to extract a palette for a custom color scheme for my syntax highlighter based on my cat's colors. I was too lazy to look for a tool, now I have no excuse. and yeah I love my cat. she has to listen to my rants about my own code all day.
Nice coincidence that the project is called ColorKitty too.

#17Hi, hackers.
I'm the developer of this little website. Really excited to be on HackerNews. It is really a pleasure to see so many people like it, so I decide to opensource it. You can check the source code of it here: https://github.com/Hopsken/colorkitty.
And, thanks for all the kind advice. You guys are really awesome.

#18This is wonderful. Well done, I've been looking for somewhere to get my branding colors for my side projects!

Nice to see an alternative app for this. I made one a while back - https://apps.hoyd.net/hexcolors/ which does the same using flask, python and bash. Been using it quite a bit for extracting colours from images. Also set up a Twitter not to find colours in satellite imagery: https://twitter.com/FiveEarthColors

#20Very nice! Might be great to add an option to crop pics and possibly also change brightness/contrast of the source pic. I got a beautiful pallette out from a pic I had but realized it's dull because the source pic exposure was poor. Wonderful tool!
