Colormind is a color scheme generator that uses deep learning. It can learn color styles from photographs, movies, and popular art.
Different datasets are loaded each day, check back tomorrow for even more color inspiration. Visit the

API
Makoto Shinkai+
The works of Makoto Shinkai - including 5 centimeters per second, the garden of words and children who chase lost voices. Shinka's works are often less saturated than similar anime, preferring to use more realistic, photographic colors in general. He reserves more contrasting palettes for the emotional climax and the many set-pieces of sky, stars and ocean that appear in his films.
Raise the red lantern+
A classic Chinese film set in 1920s China. The grading of this film is highly stylized, with a near-sepia tone throughout except for the iconic red lanterns which appear in nearly every shot
Star light+
Stellar photography, auroras and other images of the night sky. Photos of the stars have a surprisingly diverse palette of greens, blues and reds.
Only God Forgives+
This film is filled with scenes lit by neon, and those neon colors reflect heavily in the generated palettes.

Usage tips
If no colors are locked Colormind will generate color palettes at random.
If you have a specific starting color in mind, pick that color and lock it. The location of the color does matter, so experiment with different placements.
If you have two complementary colors, try placing them at the opposite ends of the palette. Colormind will tend to generate nice intermediate values.
If you want more variety try placing contrasting colors closer together, colormind will then tend to create triadic and other more complex color schemes.
