The design of this website is beautiful. I just wish it didn't reload after each palette change. Also, a toggle for the animations would be nice. They get a bit annoying after a bit.


Ahh, thanks for the feedback! I can definitely tone down the animations... Or maybe remove them for everything but the homepage.

I did the reload / separate pages because 1) to make my life easier building it lol and 2) so you could send links to specific palettes.


>so you could send links to specific palettes

Check out the pushState/replaceState/popstate API to update the URI without reloading the page, while still sending users with the link directly to that colour scheme.


IMO the animate on page load was fine. It was the animations upon scrolling that got annoying after a while.

Also, there are a few ways to change url without reloads, though, yeah, that might add some complexity.


Yes the reload is a shame - especially given that it needs a whole bunch of third-party JS to render anyway, it's annoying to have history fill up of different colour palletes.

Great resource though, I'm bad at this, will certainly use in future I'm sure.


I find the animations made me dizzy- a little movement is fine but every single thing moving and fading and sliding is pointless and distracting. I was reading the different stuff about the aspects of a color but I had to just stop.


Agree! Awesome idea for a site, but should definitely tone down the animations + disable after the first time.
