Hey everyone,

About a year ago I embarked on creating a color scheme for a project and I loved it so much I began using it for everything. I decided to make an official repo for it to share with the world.

Anyhoo, hope y'all enjoy it.

If 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.

This is why in metro microsoft made the first screen go like 90% there instead of 100%, makes it clear that there is more content beneath.

That's not a bad idea, I've done something similar on other sites I've built before. The landing doesn't need to be 100vh.

It's also a recommendation in Material Design:

"Cut off grid tiles in the view’s initial scroll position to communicate the scroll direction for content overflow."

This loaded most of the way down the page for me, with the little grid diagram thing at the top of the screen. Causing me to immediately scroll upwards (a non-intuitive direction) really exemplifying the point, haha.
