Show HN is supposed to be for showing your own work https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html so you might have miscategorized this, m1guelpf.
I'm sorry for this, apparently I misread the HN rules. Is there any way I can edit it to remove the "Show HN" part?

#102The design of this website is beautiful. I just wish it didn't reload after each palette change. Also, a toggle for the animations would be nice. They get a bit annoying after a bit.
Ahh, thanks for the feedback! I can definitely tone down the animations... Or maybe remove them for everything but the homepage. I did the reload / separate pages because 1) to make my life easier building it lol and 2) so you could send links to specific palettes.
Check out the pushState/replaceState/popstate API to update the URI without reloading the page, while still sending users with the link directly to that colour scheme.

#103The notorious Millennial Pink somewhat over-used here? https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/shortcuts/2017/mar/... https://www.shutterstock.com/blog/what-is-millennial-pink
Interesting. That sort of pink was also Pantone's color of the year.[1] It's definitely a super popular color in contemporary design. [1] https://www.pantone.com/color-intelligence/color-of-the-year...

Also, there are a few ways to change url without reloads, though, yeah, that might add some complexity.

#108I 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/

#110Earlier quoted context omitted.
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.
I don't know how to describe it, sorry. Like as if they are all printed on recycling paper, perhaps? They have a touch of grayness? Or perhaps it is "all pastels", as the other comment said? Sorry I am not artist enough to be able to describe it.
