Greetings color enthusiasts! I am excited to announce the release of "Poline", a new micro library for generating colors. Check out the first public beta and let me know your thoughts on the project.
Check its documentation here:

HSL & HSV are great, but they can make designs look too rainbowy if hue, saturation, and value aren't balanced. So I built a library that morphs the color gamut to your liking—almost impossible to make ugly colors! It has presets inspired by historical color theorists. Stay tuned

FarbVelo; Since my random color combo generator on

Curious about the colors Johannes Itten's RYB palette can create? Check out an early build of "RYBitten" on Poline: . The official site is coming soon—stay tuned for more Bauhaus-inspired color explorations! 🎨

The first public beta of my color exploration project is now live at . I've put a lot of time into perfecting the color generation, and while it’s not open-source, it’s free to contemplate and use.

Progress?
I might have to come up with something else than the dark mode, I think it kills the vibe a bit...

I think this is hands down the best SVG editor. Seeing the code as you draw is a game-changer—it teaches you how SVG really works while you create and gives you a chance to make your creations generative.
😱 I just realized I never shared the svg tool I spent so much time on!
I wanted to create a playground to help learn and discover how to write SVG code, which can be so funky!
Remember when we learned physics in the sandbox? Yeah, like that.

I'm excited to announce the release of V10 of the color-name list, featuring a whopping 30,000 names. Can you believe the repository was created on April 23, 2017? That's an average of 14 new color names added every day for the past 5 years:

Thanks for your interest in my RYB project! I’m working on it in my spare time, so there’s no set launch date. Meanwhile, check out my other color projects—I think you’ll love them. Stay tuned, and thanks for your support!

I think this shows nicely, that is no single true way pixelart is supposed to look. The game creation process was way less standardized. Early games were typically drawn on paper before they were digitized manually using very different techniques...

Sony PVM-20L2MD via RGB
Sony KV-27S42 via S-Video
Sanyo DS13320 via Composite
Mitsubishi CS-1304A via RF
4 sets, 4 different inputs. Don't you dare try and make me pick a favorite... Though the PVM is so much easier to photograph.

Keyboard controls influence the progression of the piece, but sometimes they also have an impact on the color composition.

We got 18614 color-names, but not all of them are created equal. This is why we have a "best-of" subset now. Find all the files here: it was also implemented into the color-name API: 🎉🥳

got so popular lately! 🙏🏼 It makes me happy and proud to see that a huge crowd finds interest in the color-names we have collected and invented over the past 5 years. My favorite interactions with it, are people arguing about the names…

I published a NPM package to generate colors based on HSV "color ramping": Let me know if you use it for anything. The docs are very minimal for now, but I think the demo explain each argument/option pretty well! Thanks for the early review
