Is this a joke? So much pomp and circumstance for a list of 16 hex colors! A big-ass readme file with install instructions??? Fucking ruby gems??? And to top it all off, it breaks designs that use the original colors. Distant colors are now similar. Lime on Green would have been ugly but readable before; with these new values it would be totally illegible.


Seems worth commenting on though :)

It isn't a joke. It's what i use personally as a designer and I thought I'd open source it. If you don't like the colors, they are pretty easy to change.


I like your new default colors and this project in general. So nice job with putting this out there.

But at the same time, I don't use your CSS file. I think the commenter above who's hating on this thinks some of it might be redundant. I guess it depends on your use-case and what kind of styling you do... I am by no means a CSS/web designing expert. For my projects personally, I just your use the HEX code of your new default colors whenever I need it. And I keep it bookmarked it for reference.


Yeah! I think judging by web traffic that is how most people use this project - which wasn't my intention at all - but I'm glad some people are finding it useful. I tried to make it as easy as possible to digest/use/install the colors however you want. Whether it's cutting and pasting from the web page - or installing through npm.


But they were already pretty easy to change?


Nice enough.

I agree with gp about the change in colour distances though. Can't use your palette as a drop-in on older pages


Agreed :) That was never the point. It is just a really simple module I found useful for myself as I didn't like the defaults.
