Love the web(b) page! I guess you also use your color palette there? P.S. Subscribed to the RSS feed, but I noticed it's not auto detectable from main URL.

Yeah I gotta fix that, probably this week!

What went into creating the color scheme?

Blog post coming soon!

High-level though: looked at the Wikipedia page for Crayola colors, selected my favorites, put a filter over them in Affinity Designer, made more edits (have to research my notes to figure out details), and eventually landed at these color stops.

It took a long time to settle on yellow/orange because I've never been able to get a good yellow I was happy with, specifically.

Have you tried running any readability analysis on this? Feels like the contrast on the background and foreground is too low to make for comfortable (long term) reading.

Maybe an example dashboard or something that is GUI-heavy, to show off how your colors interact with each other?

You mention elsewhere that you used this on a bunch of your own projects, are there any you can share?

Very nice, I'm saving it! The red palette looks extremely pink on my screen though.

Yes, I'm still working on socii! I took a hiatus to work on something else which ultimately didn't work out so I'm back on socii.

I've been posting to Mastodon[1] when I make progress, I should get back to posting on my blog though!
