Very nice colours. However I am mildly red-green colour blind like 5% of men (and very few women) and the two in the middle look practically the same to me. The left and third from left are almost indistinguishable too. I'm guessing this isn't the case for everybody?

#52Is there any reason to use the word uchu? It seems like almost everything (colour schemes, AI models, startups, tools, apps, ...) is named using a single randomly-selected Japanese word these days. But... why?

"uchū" means "universe" in Japanese. I use this theme for all of my projects so...universal. I can't speak to anything else but personally, I love Japan style/aesthetic/whatever so I'm gonna use a word if it fits.
You can't sub universe in those. Yes, a dictionary may use that translation, but watch a space documentary and they won't use "uchu" by itself for "universe".
Also, in English, "universal" and "universe" are clearly related, but in Japanese, the concept of "universal" has almost nothing in common with "uchu"

#54If you design a webpage that looks like an app loading screen, and have to put the word "SCROLL" at the bottom, I think that's a design failure, for the same/similar reasons that "click here" links are.

#56Earlier quoted context omitted.
You mention elsewhere that you used this on a bunch of your own projects, are there any you can share?
https://blog.neuenet.com , https://webb.page , and https://inc.sh...https://dsgn.agency will get updated with it soon (it's using Sapper, the awkward stand-in before SvelteKit). I'm also building a social network with it, here's a screenshot[1] and video[2] --- [1]: https://social.coop/@netopwibby/113474209075638354 [2]: https://social.coop/@netopwibby/113329030542527807

#59Good luck with the social network! It’s brutal out there..
PS — would be so cool to see a tailwind plugin of this (which in v4 should be just copying the vars in.. I didn’t look at the repo super closely). Great shit!

#60The gray palette would make a good Emacs colorscheme. By the way, great web site! [0]. Been quite a while since I thought that. [0] https://webb.page
