Colormind is a color scheme generator that uses deep learning. It can learn color styles from photographs, movies, and popular art.
Different datasets are loaded each day, check back tomorrow for even more color inspiration. Visit the

API
Architecture+
Photos of cityscapes and architecture have relatively mild colors, with darker blues, greys and browns as the main color components. Great for a somber, serious look.
Amélie+
A classic film with a very specific color palette. Heavy on reds and greens with virtually no cool colors.
The Wind Rises+
All of Miyazaki's films have brilliant color design and The Wind Rises is no exception. Brilliant blues and greens dominate, juxtiposed with darker somber colors in its depiction of wartime Japan
Pokemon Crystal+
Pokemon crystal is a classic 8 bit video game on the Gameboy Color. 8 bit color selection is an exercise in constraints and minimalism, especially when each pokemon must have a unique palette. This dataset is extracted from the palettes of individual pokemon, taken from the in-game graphical assets.

Usage tips
If no colors are locked Colormind will generate color palettes at random.
If you have a specific starting color in mind, pick that color and lock it. The location of the color does matter, so experiment with different placements.
If you have two complementary colors, try placing them at the opposite ends of the palette. Colormind will tend to generate nice intermediate values.
If you want more variety try placing contrasting colors closer together, colormind will then tend to create triadic and other more complex color schemes.
