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 happen to keep a list of these things! under Color Picking https://github.com/sw-yx/spark-joy
This is incredibly useful for anyone designing a new site from scratch. I think it's quite useful for reimagining the colors of your existing site, too, with one caveat. I'd love to be able to enter some of my own colors - and have your tool suggest a color palette. Not the easiest feature to add, but would be exceptionally useful. Either way, I love what you do, mackenziechild and have followed your work for years.…
Thanks dude, you're too kind
This is a joke site, right? > Blue is a very calming color and can actually slow your metabolism (notice how there's little to no food brands that use blue in their branding). Best Foods / Hellman's, Kraft, Barilla, Spam, Nestle, Pilsbury, Ocean Spray, Oreo, Quaker ... if this is for real, they've evidently never been to a grocery store. > Purple thinks it's better than all the other peasant colors. I guess so.
You really don't see blue used in fast food branding, mostly red & yellow.
I will bookmark this, because I dont have an esthetic sense, and never know wich color to use in my projects. End up doing everything in black and white.
I spent some time finding good colors for my terminal, I usually reuse that when I design some website / webapp. 99% of the time I use monospaced fonts and my interface ends up looking a lot like a CLI application, but since most of my work is oriented towards technical people, end users often tell me they dig the design.
