Hope DO comes back up soon! I want to check this out.

Judging by how good the comments are when it is up, I hope it recovers soon too =)

So simple - but so cool. What a great idea.

My only "critique" would be to make the hex codes copy/paste ready in the results. I like the links to dribble, but I'd really like to just be able to quickly copy/paste the hex codes.

Hey compañero, that's very cool! I wonder how hard would it be to add the query to the URL so that I can paste it to someone? :-)

Another really good idea - I just sent this to some of our design guys and they love it. Having a link for specific results could be a great addition for sharing.

Really cool! If it can help, I was searching "gluten free" and the very first result contains colors very very similar, almost indistinguishable: #E51C20 vs #EF1A21, and #F4F2EC vs #FFF
