just my small quarantine project. It occurred to me that there are a set of colors that designers like to overuse, and recently there has been a design trend of picking "ugly" or uncommon colors to stand out (eg. the dropbox re-brand). This app basically generates color combinations that avoid the common clusters in palette space.
the visualized data is composed of dribbble designs which predominantly uses 2 colors, forming a 6 dimensional vector space in CIE Lab colorspace. After running t-sne for a bit, some interesting patterns emerge: https://imgur.com/AusbusY - there's a pretty distinct cluster of dribbble intro shots, and to me it looks like most designs use analogous or monochrome color schemes with little hue variation.
