The letter directory is based upon artist first name... seems odd especially as most are going to know the last name and only maybe the first.
As an "expert viewer" of Baumgartner Restoration, this site usefulness is questionable. If you look at those color palettes, most of them brownish that is because of dirty & old oxidised varnish. These are not the intended look of these paintings. So these color palettes has nothing to do with those 3000 masters. https://youtube.com/@baumgartnerrestoration
> Starting in the Renaissance, artists made sculpture and architecture that exalted form over color, in homage to what they thought Greek and Roman art had looked like. In the eighteenth century, Johann Winckelmann, the German scholar who is often called the father of art history, contended that “the whiter the body is, the more beautiful it is,” and that “color contributes to beauty, but it is not beauty.” When the ancient Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum were first excavated, in the mid-eighteenth century, Winckelmann saw some of their artifacts in Naples, and noticed color on them. But he found a way around that discomfiting observation, claiming that a statue of Artemis with red hair, red sandals, and a red quiver strap must have been not Greek but Etruscan—the product of an earlier civilization that was considered less sophisticated. He later concluded, however, that the Artemis probably was Greek. (It is now thought to be a Roman copy of a Greek original.) Østergaard and Brinkmann believe that Winckelmann’s thinking was evolving, and that he might eventually have embraced polychromy, had he not died in 1768, at the age of fifty, after being stabbed by a fellow-traveller at an inn in Trieste

Man, what a line. What a horror, this projection of opinion! From the "Father of Art History"! To rob the world so! I feel this way all the time, that anti-sentiment, that the pure marble world just stately and so is art and perfection, over the colors of the universe & it's possibility!

This should make your blood run cold, imo. A world locked in amber view of reality, static, sedate. Whew.
Spam filters are going to have to get a lot more sophisticated. "Slop" filters, even.
Why do I only see Claude in this UI? It seems Claude is picking up the very same color scheme for many webpage building requests.
It is puzzling for me why you see these colors as Claude UI colors, since I carefully choose these colors as my main brand colors across all other art related sites (eg https://ouliart.com ).

Agreed. I absolutely adore the idea of it! But all the brownish colours tell the same story. For some additional context; many old pigments were not stable at all. https://www.vangoghstudio.com/what-were-the-original-colors-...
Or do you need to infer it based on location, budget, time, climate etc?

Is there enough color data left in the brown to correct it? Or do you need to infer it based on location, budget, time, climate etc?

Quite possible Claude/Anthropic likes your colors
1) Aren't "Modernism" and "Modernismo" the same thing? I'm a Spanish speaker and from my POV they are
2) Selected "Naïve Art" style and it's broken (images not loading). Probably something to do with the diaeresis

hundreds of years of oxidation will make everything brown.
so is there a formula that can be automatically applied to restore the original colors? at least some reasonable approximation, based on the painting's age?
There has been some research on what causes degradation on paper/pigment but as far as I know much of it ends up as a mystery, a fact of time...
Very nice. My only gripe is the automatic page switching on scroll, never encountered that before and I absolutely hate it
