This looks really really slick. The signup process only worked for me if I turned off tracking protection in Firefox. One bug, entering hex code aggressively tries to convert 3 digit into 6 digit. So you can't actually type a 6-digit hex code because as soon as you type the first 3 digits, it expands it into 6, so you have to like backspace and mess around with it to get the color you want.

Allow grouping of colors. Some colors are always se…
