Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm so excited to share my new project with you all. Like many of you, I'm a developer and designer who spends a lot of time looking for project inspiration. A while ago, I got really tired of the same old color palette generators. Everything started to feel a bit... generic. I wondered, where can I find colors with more meaning and history? The answer was right there in the world's art galleries. So, I went on a journey through art history and painstakingly curated over 500 color palettes, each one artistically inspired by a famous masterpiece—from Da Vinci's subtle tones to Van Gogh's vibrant hues. I compiled all of it into a single, clean, and super simple JSON file. No sign-ups, no tracking, no complex API calls. Just one file with all the data, ready to be used in any project. I built this for: * Developers who need a cool dataset for a portfolio project. * Designers looking for unique, sophisticated color schemes. * Creators who want to add a touch of classic beauty to their work. It's a "set it and forget it" side project for me, and I hope it can be a valuable resource for you. To celebrate the launch, I'm offering a 70% discount for the Product Hunt community for the next 24 hours!
