Show HN: Explore color palettes inspired by 3000 master painter artworks
May 5, 2026
PaletteInspiration.com launches as a curated color palette archive extracting chromatic data from 3,000-plus master paintings spanning Monet, Vermeer, Van Gogh, and Raphael. The Color Harmony Explorer maps painter-validated hue relationships interactively via a draggable color wheel. UI/UX designers and front-end engineers tired of algorithmically homogenized palettes gain access to centuries of empirically tested color theory. This directly challenges tools like Coolors by grounding suggestions in art-historical precedent rather than procedural generation.
