Spyware, not malware. Unless they are somehow attempting to take over control of your computer or perform some other crime.

What color space does this use? Is it HSV? You should consider moving to something more perceptually based; all these look slightly off to me.

What color space would be better than HSV? HSV- and HSL-based color pickers are intuitive, predictable and used by the majority of the designer-oriented apps: https://community.kde.org/Krita/Community_Mockups_and_Wishli...

For those of you who confused like I was, this site/app used to be Color Scheme Designer 3 [1]. Same people, new name apparently.

Really like it, love the vision simulation too.

One small suggestion to improve: having an option to see all of the vision simulations at once would be incredibly useful.

I created HUSL as an alternative to HSL, particularly for programmatic palette generation.

A buddy and I made a similar tool that let you test palettes on a few mock website layouts: http://palettecomp.com/ Hope someone finds it useful!

HUSL was already mentioned, so I bring up HSP [1]. The idea is to adjust the lightness (the L in HSL) by something which is closer to the percieved luminescence.

Also I wonder if HSL will ever manage to replace HSB/HSV as the default choice for color pickers.

this is cool. Would be nice to have a way to pick palettes directly at your site instead of going to colorlovers. Maybe by searching?
