Poline — Esoteric Color Palette Generation Library poline is lightweight, dependency free and fast JavaScript function written in TypeScript. It draws lines between anchors over polar coordinates to generate pleasing color palettes.

PS you can go on meodai.github.io/poline/ or farbvelo.elastiq.ch and copy the token-beam token, and paste it there.

please do! and let me know what you think.

No, this is just visualization not a palette generator with all my other tools do and you can hook them in using token beam

For now, this is just a library for reuse and other software

ok color nerds all the models :D

oh yeah that sounds like a good fit! Especially to show elevation.

My timeline might soon be just me doing this from now on...

Pro Tip 2: I don't even use the app :D

Hey OKColor, meet your new friend: Palette Shader. 🎨

you can paste any palette here! meodai.github.io/color-palett...

Autohypnosis using colors

we are getting somewhere!

It’s all coming together… like a chaotic color master plan 😄Connect any of my tools to the shader using Token Beam.

meodai.github.io/poline/ beaming to meodai.github.io/color-palett...

forgot to update the resolution of the LUT :D

oh! a scond pass was the solution

stained glass mode makes it quite a bit slower, but It looks so good (have to test for neighbour pixels, maybe I can find a more creative way of doing it)

Made some updates to the API so it can display cartesian color models alongside the polar ones. It’s now much closer to what I originally had in mind, and it should make adding new models a lot easier in the future: meodai.github.io/color-palett...

How do you work with colors and how is this useful to you? I’m eager to learn more.

Lds 😂

Of course, also my argument when buying retro handhe

A screenshot of an upcoming documentation website for a tool called Elena.

Letting that @darn.es get an early sneak peek of this thingy made me realize it needs proper docs website, even if I tried to resist it and dump it all onto .md files on GitHub. So yeah, here we are…

looks very satisfying

I tried to express what it id doing in this technical terms here: bsky.app/profile/meod...

I am making up reasons

probably never will :D

tried to explain it here: bsky.app/profile/meod...

- How distinct each color is from the others
- How balanced the palette is overall (even regions = even coverage)
- Whether a new color is worth adding: if it doesn't carve out its own space, it's probably not pulling its weight

...another color already in your palette, it's almost redundant. If it claims a large region, it's doing a lot of unique work. At a glance you can tell:

It shows you how a color palette distributes across "all possible colors." Each region of the wheel or grid represents a color, and whichever palette color is closest to it "claims" that region.

So if one of your palette colors only claims a tiny sliver, it means it lives very close to...
