Cool idea, but unfortunately low-effort AI slop. The colors are covered in vibe-coded patterns that obscure the actual color, much of the writing is wrong and soulless. The prompter writes on the site that he uses AI to support in writing, because as a man with a day job it would be "impossible" to write all this himself. I'd urge him to write in his own words, starting with a minimal subset of colors and slowly building up a library. It could be a "one entry per day" challenge, or even just "one entry per week". Why is everyone in such a rush?

I was excited about the website up until I clicked into my first color and read the page. Terrible slop writing. Makes me question the author's judgement in general.
What vibe coded patterns?
on `.home-hero__grain` there is a repeating dot-pattern that obscures the underlying color:

``` background-image: radial-gradient(circle at 23% 12%,rgba(255,255,255,.6) 0 1px,transparent 1.5px),radial-gradient(circle at 78% 41%,rgba(255,255,255,.5) 0 1px,transparent 1.5px),radial-gradient(circle at 12% 73%,rgba(0,0,0,.5) 0 1px,transparent 1.5px),radial-gradient(circle at 55% 88%,rgba(255,255,255,.5) 0 1px,transparent 1.5px),radial-gradient(circle at 88% 18%,rgba(0,0,0,.4) 0 1px,transparent 1.5px); background-size: 7px 7px,11px 11px,9px 9px,13px 13px,8px 8px; ```
