Colormind (Color Palette Generator)
⚠️ Privacy & Security Notice:
- This skill sends color data to an external service (colormind.io)
- The API uses unencrypted HTTP (HTTPS has a self-signed certificate)
- When using
image_to_palette.sh, derived color data from your images is sent externally - Do not use with sensitive/private images unless you accept this data sharing
- Consider running in a sandbox when processing untrusted images (ImageMagick safety)
Colormind exposes a simple API:
POST http://colormind.io/api/→ generate a palette (optionally with locked colors)GET http://colormind.io/list/→ list available models
List models
node {baseDir}/scripts/list_models.mjs
Generate a random palette
node {baseDir}/scripts/generate_palette.mjs --model default
node {baseDir}/scripts/generate_palette.mjs --model ui
Generate a palette with locked colors
Provide 5 slots. Use:
- an RGB triple:
"r,g,b"(locks that slot) N(free slot)
Examples:
# lock 2 colors, let colormind fill the rest
node {baseDir}/scripts/generate_palette.mjs --model default \
--input "44,43,44" "90,83,82" N N N
# lock a brand color, keep a free gradient
node {baseDir}/scripts/generate_palette.mjs --model ui \
--input "0,122,255" N N N N
Output:
- always prints JSON
- if
--prettyis set, also prints a small Markdown block (hex + RGB)
node {baseDir}/scripts/generate_palette.mjs --model default --pretty
Sample an image → get a palette
Requires ImageMagick (convert). This samples a small palette from an image, picks the most frequent color as the "base", then generates a Colormind palette from it.
# returns JSON with sampled colors + a generated Colormind palette
bash {baseDir}/scripts/image_to_palette.sh /path/to/image.jpg --model ui
bash {baseDir}/scripts/image_to_palette.sh /path/to/image.jpg --model default
Notes:
- Colormind may slightly adjust locked colors.
- Models refresh daily (UTC+8).
