Poline
A polar coordinate-based color palette generator that creates harmonious schemes by connecting anchor points, supporting custom position functions and HSL color model.
Product Overview
Anchors: Minimum 2 HSL color points; connecting lines generate intermediate colors Polar Line: Lines between anchors determine color distribution Position Functions: Control color transition curves (linear, sinusoidal [default], exponential, etc.) numPoints: Controls color quantity (default 4) closedLoop: Enables seamless palette cycling Invert Lightness: Swaps center/edge brightness values Color Output: HSL arrays, CSS strings (HSL/LCH/OKLCH formats) Technical Implementation Lightweight TypeScript library Supports dynamic adjustments to anchors, position functions, and hue shifts
Best For
Creative coders and generative artists exploring mathematical color palette generation through polar coordinate systems.
