"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."

"Making color palettes is a difficult process because while most people can tell when a combination of colors is pleasing, it's hard to explain exactly why. It's thus doubly difficult to produce something that's pleasing and fits with certain pre-requisites, like branding guidelines."

"Paintings and other artwork are great for color extraction as they tend to use color in an intentional way."

"The main issue with photography and similar sources is that most photos don't actually make for good color palettes, and common color quantization algorithms don't do a good job of making color palettes in the first place."

"The final generator uses a combination of Adobe Color data and a hand-picked selection of palettes from Dribbble. In the back it's an ensemble of trained models with a variety of hyperparameters to produce slightly different effects. It's not perfect and does require some human discretion, but I think it's a pretty useful tool for color inspiration."
