I notice on the modify page, dragging the sliders, the color update lags. Is that intentional?

#62Really loved the UI. Did you first create a prototyping with Figma or some other tool or just slowly iterated during your development till you were satisfied?
Re: Show HN: hue.tools – open-source toolbox for colors
#63Could you add support for 10 or 12 bit colors?

#64Earlier quoted context omitted.
First of all thanks for the comments and info. I'm actually not doing the color interpolation myself. I'm using chroma.js[1] for the most part. You can actually change the interpolation mode on the bottom below the color boxes. The default is LCH because I think it looks the best most of the time, but you can use LAB if you prefer that.

Really cool site! After playing with it for a while, could the CSS gradient for MIX could be changed to use the same number of color stops as there are steps rather than just using the start and end, to better match the chosen interpolation mode? I had a great gradient in LAB space, but the CSS version interpolates through ugly greys in RGB.
That's a great idea! I'm gonna take a look at that.

I initially started with this project to learn more about svelte and try sveltekit. So I never made a design or a prototype. I just had a rough idea of how I wanted it to look and then just iterated on it while building it.

#67This. is. awesome. Thanks for sharing! I manage a lot of designs and guidelines for Open Source projects and the amount of time I spend translating color information into different values to make sure everything is "on brand" is ridiculous. This is going to save me ton of time
Thank you! Let me know if there is anything that you're missing or that can be improved.
Re: Show HN: hue.tools – open-source toolbox for colors
#68Is it possible to know about a certain color if it's dark or light? My goal is to automatically determine whether to put a white or black text on top of a background colored box based on the answer. Is it has something to do with the temperature? I'd expect to get some value below or above 0.5.

Interesting suggestion, I'll see what I can do.

#70If this could be added as a Photoshop plug in, I as an artist would not think twice of forking some cash to get it, mark it as business expense
I've never build a photoshop plugin but it sure sounds interesting. I'm gonna see whats possible here.
Thanks for the suggestion!
