24 alternatives to Simple algorithm and color space to generate diverse skin tones
Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
This tool provides a color picker and procedural generation algorithm designed to help digital artists and game developers select and create diverse, plausible skin tones. It uses a custom color space specifically… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes.

I had this idea kicking around in my head for quite a while. Took an evening to make this, and a short morning to polish it a bit. So here it is!

In 2023, I tried building dynamic color theming by programmatically rotating HSL values. The results weren't good—garish combinations, inconsistent luminosity, completely unusable for UI work. That kicked off a two-year (sporadic) rabbit hole into color theory like Josef Albers' "Interaction of Color," perceptual color spaces (OKLCH vs sRGB), and effects like Bezold-Brücke. I learned that programmatic palette generation is genuinely hard. Nothing beats a trained eye. But I carried on anyway and made the Color Palette Pro. What it does: It generates 6 palette types (analogous, complementary,…

Hi HN, I’m Emil, the maker behind Palette. I’ve been tinkering with AI and colorization for about five years. This is my latest colorization model. It’s a text-based AI colorizer, so you can edit the colorizations with natural language. To make it easier to use, I also automatically create captions and generate filters. Let me know what you think. You can see some of my results on my reddit page: https://www.reddit.com/user/emilwallner/?sort=top

I'm making a coloring book of data structures and algorithms for programmers and students. So far I have a prototype page for a sorting algorithm (albeit a rather simple one). Here the Selection Sort coloring pages you can print. https://coderscoloringbook.com/selectionsort And here is how I colored mine. https://coderscoloringbook.com/selectionsortcolored A coloring book is not quite enough to teach algorithms on its own, but I really get a lot from visual reinforcement of what I learn from books/lectures. Do you think having coloring pages like this could…

Hi all, This is a generative art project I worked on over the past year or so consisting of about 100 little artworks generated using P5.js. I have an overview and technical write up here: https://dannyking.uk/artwork/colororbs You can play with my interactive demo and make your own here: https://dannyking.uk/artwork/colororbs/designer And the gallery is here: https://dannyking.uk/artwork/colororbs/gallery This project came about after reading a HN post about a year ago…

I crawled lots of websites and extracted their color palettes (primary, secondary, etc) to build a searchable collection of website colors! It was a fun side-project and I learned a lot about color theory. Let me know what you think and what features you would like to see :) If you have any questions about the tech behind it, feel free to ask in the comments. Feedback is also greatly appreciated.
