I wanted to check if the information on this page was correct. I started searching and found this site [0], which looks very similar. I thought it was made by the same person, but it's not. It's just another website designed using LLM.

One advantage of LLM is that you can quickly and easily generate a "pretty decent" website. However, there is a drawback, that there is a high chance that a page with a very similar design(and similar idea) already exists somewhere.

I don't think it is a case that llm happens to create similar stuff. Either both are made by the same person or one is a copycat of the other.

What are the odds of both websites showing the same color today (Cochineal and 胭脂)?

And both use Roman numerals MMXXVI ? It makes no sense to use that in a "Chinese" color website.

I think they are made by different people/organizations. Chinese colors is by TOTM Tech, which sells various (pretty obviously vibe coded) design tools and assets. OP doesn't sell anything so I don't think they are related.

> MMXXVI

That too. LLMs love to writing year in roman numeral. https://github.com/search?q=%22%C2%B7+MMXXVI%22&type=code There are 2.8k of these in github.

> the same color today

Looks liks Chinese colors always show that color in Hero section? It's coincidence I think.
