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.

The palette doesn't seem perceptually uniform, i.e. the contrast ratios of each tint vs. white/black aren't the same across all colors. Did your try analysing the palette in https://huetone.ardov.me/ ?

Nope, I just did what felt good. Does the huetone tool support OKLCH? I didn't see a toggle for it.

You have to convert your OKLCH colors to RGB hex codes before you can import them to Huetone, and that's little bit annoying, but worthwhile. I wouldn't use any palette that isn't perceptually uniform anymore. Being able to switch e.g. red-400 to blue-400 and to retain same contrasts is very valuable.
