Side topic: There is an abundance of Magenta/Purple colors in today's design from Stripe to GraphQL to Lyft... what gives? Why are designers obsessed with trends? I could give many many more examples if needed. Everywhere I see magenta/purple gradients.

#32How do I use this thing?
This was my first reaction, and I’ve used a slew of web color tools, going back before colorlovers

#34As a non-designer, I am finding it easier and easier to get something professional looking up. Couple this with Material-UI and a solid looking template and you could have a beautiful, custom landing page up a day. There are obviously UX and other issues that I struggle to excel at, but from a simple, consumer-facing perspective, I see UI getting more and more manageable.
Bulma is a gamechanger for me in this regard. I can get something professional looking up and running with literally no design experience. There are obviously limitations to it, but for my use cases it's great.
Seconded. Bulma is the tool of choice for 99% of my projects. I have all the CSS classes almost memorized.

#35Accessibility of text over the generated colors would be a great addition to this. It can be cool to have colors generated, but with UI, more than likely you will have to place text over the top and you need to ensure that everyone can read without troubles.
It has this. For example, the default 0 value:
19.32b (on black)
1.09w (on white)

#38This is a great tool! I have also recently started using a divergent color palette[1] when designing figures for publication, it's amazing how much nicer it looks than, for example, default color schemes in most graphing software... Definitely going to bookmark this for future use. [1] https://learnui.design/tools/data-color-picker.html#divergen...
I've used ColorBrewer[0] in the past for this purpose. It's got some great options for ensuring the colors are distinguishable by people with varying forms of colour blindness as well as in black and white. That last one is a big one because it's a pet peeve of mine when figures are unreadable in a printed paper.

I concur... I'm a developer not a designer, what am I looking at besides a nice gradient of colours... how do I use this tool?

Bulma looks fairly similar to Bootstrap v4 as far as visual output goes.
Any major reasons to use one or the other?
