Thank you. I've bookmarked it. (I am fine with ads; although it can be overdone, of course.)

I'll mention that one thing that is appealing is that the license is clear. I use the palettes for some Freely-licensed projects and so I redistribute the materials. In many places it is hard to tell what is allowed (I have a number of times spent some effort tracking down a creator only to be eventually unable to get more than "It is free" for a license statement.)

? that's crazy to me! how can one claim to copyright a combination of colors, especially if it's not in combination like copying the pepsi logo or seomthing

We claim credit for the combination of letters that we call a short story, or even for a slogan ("I'm loving it."). We claim credit for a short song, or many other combinations of atomic components.

The fact that I can't do it means, to me, that there is creativity involved. Creators deserve rights. That's fair enough, it seems to me.

I was looking for a site where creators had generously made some available under a Free license.
