Though it's gotten ad spammy it seems




Thank you. I've bookmarked it. (I am fine with ads; although it can be overdone, of course.)

I'll mention that one thing that is appealing is that the license is clear. I use the palettes for some Freely-licensed projects and so I redistribute the materials. In many places it is hard to tell what is allowed (I have a number of times spent some effort tracking down a creator only to be eventually unable to get more than "It is free" for a license statement.)


? that's crazy to me! how can one claim to copyright a combination of colors, especially if it's not in combination like copying the pepsi logo or seomthing


We claim credit for the combination of letters that we call a short story, or even for a slogan ("I'm loving it."). We claim credit for a short song, or many other combinations of atomic components.

The fact that I can't do it means, to me, that there is creativity involved. Creators deserve rights. That's fair enough, it seems to me.

I was looking for a site where creators had generously made some available under a Free license.


Used to go here all the time but my god has it fallen off. On mobile it looks horrible


yeah it looks and loads horrible now and doesn't seem as active. but i have found some really new ideas from there!
