This might be the best color palette generator I’ve ever seen. I used to work in Operating Systems, and trying to get a good color palette from a photo is HARD. A lot of very smart very well paid people have dedicated years of their life to this type of thing. Really fantastic work.
If the author of the blog post ever comes across this thread/ comment, bravo and I hope you feel pride in your work and I’d go so far to say discovery.
I agree with the kudos, but back when I was an interesting person and in early 2000s I stumbled on this same/similar approach of using K-means clusters with LAB color space for a painting algorithm I was using in my masters project. RGB was not effective.
Can you talk a bit more on what makes this hard from your experience/pov, asking as someone who doesn't have much experience with this type of work
