The notorious Millennial Pink somewhat over-used here? https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/shortcuts/2017/mar/... https://www.shutterstock.com/blog/what-is-millennial-pink

using firedox here, the bottom 5 palettes on the left side are blank, but when you click them, they do work to change the colors..
Your photo, the black and white profile, shows you with a great expression, but I wonder about the clothing too much. I immediately start wondering what the material of the coat(?) is.. thoughts run through, it almost seems like a fur coat and that you have nothing on under it. As I look closer I notice there is a Tshirt under that just blends with the black and white, so the nude effect is likely unintentional.
Then I go back to the coat and keep wondering what this outfit is. Maybe it's more common in SV / Portland etc, but where I'm at it looks very unusual. Perhaps the whole picture looks more common, it's just the shoulders of the item that are perplexing.
Not saying this is bad, just offering a glimpse into what some other peeps may be wondering.

> I'd love to be able to enter some of my own colors - and have your tool suggest a color palette. Not sure whether that's possible with this site, since it was built without code.
It probably _could_ be, but I'd probably have to build (or hire someone to build) some sort of external app / database to manage all that. A simpler solution I thought about what recreating the layout in Figma or Sketch, then someone could create their own palette simply by tweaking color swatches (and have it auto update on the mockup).
Do the tools you're using (webflow) not let you put any custom JavaScript on the page?
I 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 notice it says that "A tint is created when you add white to a hue. .... you can create a tint by lowering the saturation value of your hue."
This is true in most paint programs, but shouldn't be. Moving a pure color like red to white is also an increase in value (i.e. brightness). So if you reduce saturation to zero while leaving the value the same, you should get a shade of gray (and it should be a darker shade if starting with purple/blue, as compared to say yellow)
I guess the way it tends to be done is so any combination of hue, saturation and value result in a valid color, but according to traditional color models such as Munsell, that shouldn't be true. (which is why the Munsell color solid is like a distorted sphere, rather than a cube) https://munsell.com/about-munsell-color/how-color-notation-w...

Good job.

What do you mean by same style? Like alternating backgrounds and such? I used Webflow CMS to build it, so I was a little bit limited in the amount of colors I could use unless I wanted to upgrade to the business plan lol.

What about their copyright? Can a palette actually be copyrighted?
