<h2>What is this?</h2>
<p>This is a (slightly modified) clone of the <a href="https://material.io/design/color/the-color-system.html#tools-for-picking-colors">official Material Design palette generator</a>. It does a few things:</p>
<ol>
<li>Builds you a full color palette from a given hex color</li>
<li>Provides you with complementary colors based off your primary color</li>
<li>Allows you to export the palettes as JSON or CSS variables</li>
</ol>
<p>Both are based on Material Design standards, and use Google's algorithm for color derivation.</p>
<h2>Why is this?</h2>
<p>Google's official palette generator <a href="https://material.io/design/color/the-color-system.html#tools-for-picking-colors">is embedded and buried deep within the Material docs</a>. Since it's an inline tool, it's also hidden from search engines, making it difficult to discover or bookmark.</p>
<p>To make it a little easier to access and to preserve it for my own future use, I grabbed the obfuscated code (the original scripts do not appear to be public anywhere) and added some small interface improvements. I did <em>not</em> change the way colors are derived.</p>
<h2>Plugins</h2>
<ul>
<li><b>Sketch:</b> After creating palettes and exporting the JSON data, Sketch users can create shared layer styles easily with the <a href="https://github.com/ziyafenn/sketch-json-color-palette-importer">Sketch JSON Color Palette Importer</a> plugin.</li>
<li><b>VSCode:</b> Visual Studio Code users can take advantage of the <a href="https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=piyush-bhatt.vscode-mat-palette">Material Design Palette Generator plugin</a>, inspired by and based on this project.</li>
</ul>
