The site looks beautiful and the utility of it reminds me of Adobe’s kuler. Good job
If I had to make one suggestion, for the site - the gradients and effects look really great, but in addition, if the selected colours were also shown as solid colour blocks, it would help so much to visualise how they would work as a palette. (I’m viewing on mobile so if this is already happening on desktop, a mobile version would be great)
Feedback: The complimentary color stuff is useful, it's been on sites like Kuler/Adobe Color for a long time (with a much better implementation). This is not really a real UI widget project you could actually use. It's really annoying you can't click one of the secondary circles to switch the color picker to that point. Also not really usable as a UI element because you can't copy/paste hex. Or make dark colors such as black.
Not a very usable color picker. The this color picker is limited to a slice of the HSV colorspace with a V of 1. Also, the outputs are not copyable.
The HSL/HSV color space also isn’t great for generating color combinations due to the deformation of lightness. A much better colorspace is the OKLCH colorspace which is has uniform lightness. The downside is that the colorspace is not perfectly cylindrical, so some values have no real displayable value. It also supports P3 and Rec2020 colors.
I think, something like https://oklch.com/ with color combinations would be more useful.
https://atmos.style/ is the most useful color tool I’ve used. Unfortunately, it’s not FOSS.
