Here is my immediate suggestion: Show only one palette at a time. By putting incompatible patterns so close, you get a matrix of colors that with high probability do not harmonize well.

I am assuming you have a slightly different algorithm for these three, since the middle one doesn't seem to match the root color's brightness, and they seem to match saturation differently too. Make a choice between these before you generate, and if you want to eliminate this choice, I would go with the one that tries to match brightness/saturation as much as possible.

This caught my eye because I developed my own algorithm for this a few years ago and applied it to syntax highlighting[1].

Hey, I saw your page a while ago! Actually, I ripped it off to demo a project of mine [1]

That's pretty rad. Is the source available anywhere? I'd like to see something like this for Sublime.


You can download the TextMate theme file for the colour scheme you generate. You can use the tm file directly in Sublime.


Oh nice, I wasn't aware of that. Thanks!
