What if you could shape your color space

→ Bezier ramps → Sapling functions → HSL / LCH / OKLCH etc → Invert lightness or swap S/L → P3 → draggable points + keyboard rotate 👾 I think it's ready to become parte of Poline as "PolineBezier" maybe? codepen.io/meodai/pen/b...

Figma just brought me on for a project. Excited (and a little nervous) — it’s that rare overlap of my pure love for color systems and my client work. Obviously, I can’t share more.

As a general rule, anything by @zellwk.bsky.social is worth your time. Also love the shoutout to @meodai.bsky.social for his incredible color work.

One of the most powerful tools in my toolbox is SVG. When combined with CSS and JavaScript, we can do some truly remarkable things. ✨ 📝 I’ve just published a brand-new blog post that covers the most critical fundamentals. It’s chock full of interactive demos. 😄 Check it out:

Does anyone know what this shape is called? It has 48 faces (a combination of a cube and an octahedron).

I usually avoid special-case logic in my code—but this one’s worth it. When closedLoop is enabled and there are only two anchors, Poline now draws a second line that isn’t identical to the first. Looks way nicer meodai.github.io/poline/

Poline hit the Hacker News front page again! 🎉 Huge thanks to everyone who's been exploring, sharing, and enjoying it. Here's the thread if you're curious: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4427... 💜🌈

🎨 Finally building the color meta language I've dreamed of for years! • Reactive color relationships • Palette inheritance • Function-based transformations • Self-documenting design decisions This makes design so much more generative and meaningful.

Sol LeWitt, Arcs and Lines. 1972.

Look ma, I made it into the Dense Discovery newsletter! 🥹🎨 Poline got featured—super honoured to be among so many thoughtful tools and links. www.densediscovery.com/archive/

For #WorldOceansDay today, stunning colour lithographs from William Saville-Kent's The Great Barrier Reef of Australia (1893), created from the author's original watercolour sketches: publicdomainreview.org/collection/i...

Ooof. This hits different.

Tried lovable — asked it to build a color generator using Poline, RampenSau + my color name API. Needed the Poline and RampenSau readme, but after that it worked like a charm. shimmer-tone-studio.lovable.app

Just dropped Color Names v11.23 — huge thanks to all the color namers out there! 🌈 github.com/meodai/color...

pixelart without AI

I try to share as much as I can with supporters, but if you are one you can access these non-AI generated desktop background images, that I will eventually add more of— aeriform.io/veil

NEXXT 3.6 - the studio I draw & layout nearly all my NES-compatible assets in, and which i maintain, is out. I'm going to get in the habit of reposting about major releases once or twice, since it's just a blip on the radar. Hopefully you won't find that too annoying frankengraphics.itch.io/nexxt

Color pickers haven't changed since 1998 not because they're perfect, but because we never questioned if there's a better way to pick colors. Sometimes "standard" just means "unchallenged."

More gamut preset logos... If i continue like that Il have one for every preset

tweaking micro RGB animations… the least important part to finish this project.

Still working on RYBitten.

did you know i make plotter drawings? buy.inconvergent.net

I’m so excited to be running this grant and mentorship program for the second year! Great opportunity for developers looking to contribute meaningfully to open source 💜

🚀 FarbVelo just got better! Now with OKHSL & OKHSV support — for smoother, more intuitive hue transitions 🌈 🎨 Switch between curated color name lists: pragmatic or poetic — your call. 📎 Tracks settings in the URL 💾 Saves your prefs in localStorage Try it out → farbvelo.elastiq.ch

Already had the original scans as a RYBitten profile, but added nocilas’ version too — very clean work as always! Love how the dark variants expand on Harris’ ideas. The colors render beautifully! github.com/meodai/RYBit...

New: I recreated Tomas Wright’s 1742 astronomical treatise, Clavis Cælestis, and its accompanying sheets titled A Synopsis of the Universe. New posters are available in antique style and modern colors. Explore: www.c82.net/clavis-caele... How it was made: www.c82.net/blog/?id=99

No API docs should have physics. Its super distracting.

I’ve been collecting and inventing color names since 2017 — it’s a habit now, sparked by whatever surrounds me. Travel adds extra fuel: plants, dishes, and places from around the world often find their way into the list. Others have joined in too. Creative folks regularly submit their own names...

Just upgraded the Color Name API! Now powered by VP Trees for fast, perceptual color matching using CIEDE2000. I initially considered a KD-Tree, but turns out it's not well-suited for non-Euclidean distances like CIEDE2000. Hope I did not break something :D > github.com/meodai/color...

Sunday afternoon fun with WebGL and “rampensau” by @meodai.bsky.social #genart #WebGL

Just plugged RampenSau into p5.js — effortless color ramp magic 🎨🐗 Generate smooth HSL gradients with zero fuss. Perfect for generative sketches: editor.p5js.org/meodai/sketc... #creativecoding #p5js #colors #genart
