Palette

Laura Timmel

If you need to randomly generate two-color palettes, this plugin is the solution for you. If you need anything else at all, look elsewhere. There's a small window with two color boxes and a "Generate" button. Hit the button, and the colors will change. Also, as I eventually figured out, if you click one of the color boxes, the hex code will be copied to your clipboard. (There's nothing within the plugin to indicate that this has happened, except that the box gets a little bit larger.) There seems to be some coordination for the color combinations, so the two colors usually look good together and almost always have strong contrast. The plugin does seem to have certain favorite colors (especially bright reds), and there are some colors that don't show up often, if at all (e.g., neons). For how simple this plugin is, I'd expect it to be blazing fast. Not that it's terribly slow; there's just an instant's hesitation before a new palette is generated. And sometimes I've had to click the button twice for it to work.
