I really enjoyed adjusting the different knobs in 'Modify' mode to achieve something that 'felt' good to me. I don't know anything about color (as represented by computers or otherwise) but it was fun.

I also love the names that come up ("pig pink" v.s. "strawberry milk")

Really cool to hear that!

And the names are definitely awesome. All the credit for that goes to: https://github.com/meodai/color-names

Where do the color names come from? They're delicious.

I like it, however I wish the colors wouldn’t change constantly when I click between tools. I would like to explore the possibilities I would have with one or two colors.

Over the years I've seen many similar tools, however, this one is probably the nicest, simple and straightforward. Really great work!
