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.

A website about color scheme that does not respect my darkmode browser preference and burns my eyes on my large screen in the middle of the night with its white background. It also prevents my dark reader extension from doing its job (in all 4 modes!)

This little visual flashy aggression triggers a little angriness reaction.

I ended up escaping without reading what it was about.

If you love the internet, please respect dark mode.

Hackernews users are getting softer and softer. Such a childish reaction to a simple website.

I agree. A color scheme website should do color schemes right. Beside the white background, why colors are the same in light and dark mode?

A well thought out color palette should have light, dark and low/high contrast variants.

You can't please every body. ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯

I just made something for me and shared for maybe 10 other people to possibly like? I didn't expect to be angering people.

Sorry for the angry reactions. The funniest one so far are the people who are upset that there is no rigorous connection to internet love spelt out for them.

FWIW, these colors look fun and made my winter Monday morning a little brighter. Thanks!
