>"poline" is an enigmatic color palette generator, that harnesses the mystical witchcraft of polar coordinates. Its methodology, defying conventional color science, is steeped in the esoteric knowledge of the early 20th century. This magical technology defies explanation, drawing lines between anchors to produce visually striking and otherworldly palettes. It is an indispensable tool for the modern generative sorcerer, and a delight for the eye

I'm not totally sure I understand this intro - what's different here compared to normal color science palette makers?

I do like the visual presentation and animation a lot though.

Doesn't seem to work on Firefox - I tried with adblocker and tracking protection disabled. Console complains:

Uncaught SyntaxError: The requested module 'https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/highlight.js/11.7.0/e...' doesn't provide an export named: 'default'

Nice. Hard to generate an unpleasant palette with this at all.

Nice one!

It's cool.

Though I am unsure if I am a sufficiently modern generative sorcerer to appreciate its eldritch, enigmatic nature.

What a fun project! I feel like you really bury the lede in terms of what kinds of palettes are generateable- the first interactive demo at the top of page mostly only makes bruises, but later on your get full on saturated rainbows!

Hats off! I never experienced a colorcombo generator that only turned up good palettes.

Nicely done, but I'm a bit puzzled by all the alchemical stuff (which, to be fair, is probably the point).

I'm impressed by the naming of colors at the very end.
