Build a Color Palette that scales nicely (AKA SCALOR)

This is an experiment in a couple ways for me. The goal was to make scaled color palettes with a little playground to see how the current color choices work together. The challenges were for me to see what I could get away with in just Sass & to start messing with node & gulp to get the hang of this new-wave stuff :)

Built with

  • HTML
  • JS
  • SCSS (is actually where all the generation happens for now)
  • Node & Gulp to compile SCSS

Instructions

  1. Install npm (only for compiling scss)
  2. npm project requires gulp, browser-sync, gulp-sass, gulp-autoprefixer (Only if you want to compile your scss that way)
  3. Set your colors under // BASE COLORS HERE! in style.scss file.
  4. Run gulp in terminal at the project root folder! DONEZO.

Todo

  • Get rid of/ rethink the circles... haha
  • Click to copy color
  • export colors as... ase?
  • Allow tweeking of each color scale independently of others
  • Allowing mixing of colors with other colors % shade wise
  • URL encode master colors to easily allow changing and trying different color scales.
  • Make autoprefixer work in gulpfile
  • Allow dynamic creation of number of colors.

The idea started here http://codepen.io/okayjeffrey/pen/ONEOYM. Please note: This is all a little hacky & this project will be updated and refactored probably everytime I use it.
