As an "expert viewer" of Baumgartner Restoration, this site usefulness is questionable. If you look at those color palettes, most of them brownish that is because of dirty & old oxidised varnish. These are not the intended look of these paintings. So these color palettes has nothing to do with those 3000 masters.
This is a very interesting perspective. I'd thought the muted, brownish colors in these paintings had to do with the quality and availability of pigments during that period.
Sorry for the inconvenience. The email works now. Regarding the article - I use similar ideas to extract colors form artwork images, only difference is I added color prevalence scale for each color and limited it to 10 colors per palette.
Thank you for kind words! That was my exact intention to share empirically proven color palettes for artists and designers like you. Adding API endpoint is a great idea. I'll let you know when it will be ready.
Thank you for the kind words and insightful feedback. My intention with page-switching on scroll was to offer more color palettes without requiring extra clicks. I had some reservations about it too, but couldn't find a better way to provide a continuous feed of similar palettes. I'll work on improving that feature.
It's very convenient, I wish I could offer a worthy suggestion. The trouble in my case is that it's very sensitive and the palettes are barely in view before the page refreshes, they don't reach the center of the screen. Thanks for sharing

Agreed. I absolutely adore the idea of it! But all the brownish colours tell the same story.
For some additional context; many old pigments were not stable at all.

hundreds of years of oxidation will make everything brown.
Why do I only see Claude in this UI? It seems Claude is picking up the very same color scheme for many webpage building requests.
Hey ouli, your hello email bounces.

Love it. I'll be using this on a weekly basis in my art practice.
Let me know if you ever create an API endpoint.

this is interesting, we should wire this to frontend design system library that automatically helps user use these palette.
Thank you. Glad you find it interesting.
Very nice. My only gripe is the automatic page switching on scroll, never encountered that before and I absolutely hate it
