- maresca 13y agohttp://webcolourdata.com/profile/85 http://webcolourdata.com/profile/85 Must go deeper haha.
- riblah 13y agoPlanning on adding duplicate checking!
- Kiro 13y agoWhat's going on?
- cvantez 13y agoMaresca found the color data for the webcolourdata.com page, then found the color data for that color data page, etc, etc. Take a look at the thumbnail and you'll notice it's an image inside an image inside an image...
- pepijndevos 13y agoThe colours of the internet aggregated: http://webcolourdata.com/profile/129 http://webcolourdata.com/profile/129
- riblah 13y agoOk... so I haven't had to handle this much traffic before, bear with me!
- ChikkaChiChi 13y agoDesign is fantastic. I actually will try using this site! I saved a bookmark for when your bandwidth isn't on fire ;)
- darwindeeds 13y agoVery neat. Bookmarked it! Now keep it up and going. Github link?
- samweinberg 13y agoThis is like an interactive version of www.brandcolors.net. Very nice!
- wasd 13y agoInteral Server Error :(
- bjeanes 13y agoKeep trying... the Heroku app seems to be getting hammered

- olegp 13y agoThis is great! Are you planning on exposing an API? Would love to add this to https://starthq.com https://starthq.com
- riblah 13y agoEventually! Good to know that someone would use it.
- aw3c2 13y agoHm, it is dismissing white (and black?) while I find those colours often very important to a site's look. Think Facebook, it is white and blue.
- riblah 13y agoI'm keeping white/black and greytones out for now. White/light greys are especially hard... how would you differentiate between the content and the background? It's definitely on the list of things to address.
- apineda 13y agoAny chance of open sourcing? I'm interested in the algorithm. Is it quantizing to a more limited bit depth and taking say, top 5ish via mode?
- riblah 13y agoI do plan on open sourcing. A little self conscious about the code as I'm more of a designer, but watch this space. At the moment it's quantizing down to 40 colours with a tree depth of 4, I then pull the top 12.
- scarecrowbob 13y agoA border?
- richardkeller 13y agoIncluding the colour outside the primary content area wouldn't be very accurate, since this is dependent on the viewer's screen resolution. For example, viewing Facebook on a widescreen display yields significantly more white than on a non-widescreen display.

- photorized 13y agoMy logo is orange, and I don't care.
- bflbfl 13y agobeautiful
- HaloZero 13y agoIs it ignore background-colors? Firefox is primarily green on this but of course the large button is there but the overall theme of the site seems to be that shade of blue http://webcolourdata.com/profile/4 http://webcolourdata.com/profile/4
- user24 13y agoseems to be getting the mobile version of our site (http://webcolourdata.com/profile/4170 http://webcolourdata.com/profile/4170). It's done on viewport width, not UA sniffing.
