THE STARTING POINT
The idea behind it.
Turn choosing colors into a playful, memorable interaction instead of another grid of swatches.
THE CHALLENGE
Make the retro television concept feel tactile without obscuring useful color controls and accessibility information.
THE APPROACH
Combine a CSS-built CRT-style TV with five palette channels, harmony generation, contrast checking and export tools.

WHAT WENT INTO IT
Built with intention.
