Just spent far too long going through the color psychology charts. Well done!
Nice :)

#72I love the approach, however, the palettes all seem to be in the same style. A bit more diversity would be cool. Any other sites HN could recommend for picking colors? I suck at that. Colourlovers is a classic I know about, but iirc it is complicated with copyright. https://www.colourlovers.com/
I quite like http://colormind.io/

A simple approach I love is just to choose a simple color scheme like Open Colors (https://yeun.github.io/open-color/) and just use colors from there.
There's also this great article: https://refactoringui.com/previews/building-your-color-palet...

#74These things are great for color/design-challenged folks like me, but I'd also love to see complimentary light-dark mode palettes.

#75The timing is great - I am redecorating my home dashboard with new colors.
One of the major struggles I have is with the dark mode - is there a methodology to assign "dark" colors based on the existing "light" ones? Or should I do the design twice, one for the light and one for the dark mode version?

I like the limited choices - it's much less overwhelming, and it's nice to have an opinionated curation.

#77Cool site - bothers me though that “This sections hues” is missing an apostrophe...
Also, is this a clever ad for Webflow? If so, I’m not complaining...
useful ads >

#78Love this idea! It's definitely something I would use more if I could create my own palettes or view popular palettes

#80While I really love the colors and instructive nature of this product, I really dislike the dark oriented color sections. That is to say, I dislike how in a dark mode, it still has large sections of white backgrounds.
If I'm in a dark room, using dark mode and expecting lower light levels, a sudden white backdrop is blinding.
Perhaps these dark themes are intended purely for design, not how best to design a dark mode.. but I'd really appreciate more design around the dark mode.
Honestly, large color changes bother me quite a bit in our software these days. I remember I always hated Slack's light mode because it was a right pane full of white - very bright, and the left pane was a dark mode contact/channel list, very dark. Why? It has always been very distracting to me, and I don't get why people think dark and light modes are so easily mixed.
Perhaps I'm an odd egg. I dunno. I definitely know nothing about style. All I know is I view the brightness of applications to be the foundation and competing brightness bothers me greatly.
