Colours are always difficult.

It would be cool to provide some tools to assist colour picking.

simple pick of random colour based on hash of selected icon
use a third-party index of colours
- https://paletton.com
or gradients
- https://coolors.co/gradients
- https://uigradients.com/
etc

I'm trying this app

https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/gradient-palette/id6446215235

It's "OK"

I'd been wanting to revisit all the color pickers, so I think these are fantastic suggestions. Thank you!

@gingerbeardman Do you have any references for the color theory behind things like Paletton—feels like it's following a bunch of very consistent and established rules that I could apply in my own picker.

I find it interesting that things like Gradient Palette just ship with a massive library of named gradients—do we think they're creating those themselves, or borrowing from known sets?
