Wanted to show you a project I was working on the last few days. I did the design just in-browser. I didn't opened Photoshop/Sketch for this project. Everything in CSS.

You can search for some palettes from ColourLovers API for your current project. Easy and hassle-free. Just sign-in to keep an eye over your favorites. Try out now!

Awesome - thanks so much for sharing! Beautiful and useful - this is really going to come in handy for me!

Just FYI, the pagination on the search results page for http://pltts.me/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&hex=8eafa4 seems to be broken.

The pagination is fixed now!

Awesome, thanks!

Can you pull from the ColourLovers API for me? I want to find a palette for #0f8790.

Other than that, this looks pretty handy. Consider it bookmarked.

[edit] Maybe I should read the bottom of the page before making some dumbass comment on the internet. I guess ColourLovers has no palettes for that particular color

Sadly, there is no palette with this color available, if it doesn't show up in our search. I am sorry.

The header is very messed up in FF19 Win7 x64[0]

It's fixed now. Thanks.

Looks good!

Thank you!

I entered 1244B0 in the search box and got 0 results. But I've got 5 pages: from 0 to 4 (I was on 0). When I clicked on any other page number, I was greeted with a message: "We're sorry, but something went wrong." The URL I got is http://pltts.me/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&hex=1244B0

Will be fixed, too. It's a fail from me, that the pagination is also shown, if there are zero results.

Thanks!

Fixed!

I like it, would have came in use when I was trying to choose a colour scheme for my recent project. Tis simple, serves a single purpose and works well at doing that. Good job!

My only real criticism is the name. I'm not too keyed in with that pronunciation script so I'm still not too sure how to pronounce it.

Just like you pronounce Palettes :)

This is cool, good job! The only thing that I'd really want is an improved search: for example, I want to search for color schemes with two colors and not just one.

Also: http://pltts.me/search?page=1 gives me "We're sorry, but something went wrong."

I am going to check this. Is on my to-do!

As a non-designer, I'd love if one of these sites would tell me how to use these colors on a web page.

What do you mean? :)

I think they mean suggestions on how the colours should be used according to content - e.g this light blue for text on this dark blue background (or whatever) - but yeah great site

I like the idea, but the layout is pretty broken in non-Webkit browsers.

Had it on my To-Do but checked it as done to fast. Wasn't done, yet. But it's fixed now!

Looks cool.

The CSS is messed up on the site. Maybe performance issue?

I'll look into it.

Fixed!

It works now. Just one more suggestion: trim the string :)

What do you mean?

When I search for " 000000" (notice the space), the search result produces an error

# 000000 is no valid hex code

I think what he means is you should trim the search keyword so that it will search for the no-space keyword you input.
