great color picker, really love the preview images. the only thing missing for me is to have the possibility to specify a specific color in hex as a starting point: most of the time when I'm looking for additional colors for a project, the main color is already pretty much set.

Why does "check out premium" go to a memoir of their design career - with a call to action basically hidden at the bottom - instead of straight to the subscription page?

I read the first two sentences, then scrolled a little faster trying to figure out if they were going to post a patreon link for basically donations, and then scrolled faster like what even is this, all to find a normal expected subscriptions page. WTF?

I have to say I like this - great design, easy to operate, etc. I think something needs to be done to better indicate "other wheel selections" (ie - to move to "square" or "analogous", etc) - while I discovered it fairly quickly, it wasn't as intuitive as I think it could have been. Beyond that it's a great tool, and the pricing for the more advanced version is decent. That said, it wouldn't take much for someone to…

I think it would be nice to have the other wheel selections available kind of like navigation tabs that show what state you are in with the same left right controls present. I don't think it would make the UI busier but it would look a little funky on mobile where I think the current set up might be a bit more advantageous.

All in all, this is really cool! I've used a few color pickers with color brewer (http://colorbrewer2.org/) being the most advanced. This seems to be right in the middle of simple and advanced color selections which is pretty sweet.

I think this is a really attractive and useful tool. Great work!

I'm not really the target market, I don't think. But my first thought as I was playing with it was "can I upload my own images/logos and have the colors displayed on my stuff?"

So, like the top comment said--don't get bogged down with random suggestions. But, here's mine:

If a premium user could upload their own SVG (or multiple) that adhere's to some kind of standard that lets you style it up with the colors like you're doing with the preset ones, that might be useful for visualizing the colors on their brand.

This looks awesome! Congrats on launching it. First: Don't get bogged down by random HN commenters' feature requests. Second: I have a feature request. I'd love a native version for Mac OS with a magnifying glass thing that allows me to select a color somewhere else on my screen, and then suggest complimentary colors. I'd gladly pay for that!

Try https://sipapp.io/

I use this one! Love it. Does everything I need.
