Totally agree on how online colour palette generators offer too many options - it's far too complex for someone like me with no design experience.

This is perfect for grabbing a simple colour scheme for small side-projects. Thanks so much for sharing 🎉

I tried this out for prettifying an interview-style question I was working on and I love the convenience of this! I have an new feature suggestion too.

codepen.io/aileen-r/pen/ExWqxXX

I picked a base colour but I found there wasn't enough visual contrast between the accent colour and my base colour. I followed the guide in the source article you linked to and got to a orangey-yellow accent colour, but in your tool I get a muted orange which didn't pop as much. There's a commented-out line in the codepen CSS to try switching the two accent colors I tried.

I think I just cranked the hue and saturation values up further than you did? The article suggested ranges after all. I think a great feature would be an option to tweak the secondary and accent colours within the range suggested in that source article, possibly with slider inputs? What do you think?

Firstly, Thanks a lot for giving such a quick and detailed feedback ! It is a very positive feeling when your project is used by other community members !😇
In a very recent commit, I had intentionally muted the colors a bit (afterall color choices are subjective). So adding a slider will surely make this more configurable 🙌.
You can contribute too the source code to if you wish to...else I will be working on this further as soon as I get time 🙈.
