You might think that picking pretty colors to make great data visualizations is an easy job1.
And if you hunt around the internet for “color palette generator”, you’ll find plenty of simple sites that, for most basic color-palette-generating tasks, will typically suffice.
But what if you want a LOT more control?
And what if you need a MUCH larger palette than what typical color-palette-generating sites can offer?
If you’re looking for something of that nature, then you can thank my work colleague for stumbling upon this absolute gem of a site recently, complete with source code:
Absolutely brilliant.
It even comes with a very interesting technical paper on the topic!
Enjoy!

If you don’t think this way, then you’ve probably had the fun of trying to develop a great-looking color palette before, only to be disappointed to learn how difficult it actually is!↩︎
