Hello fellow generative artists! Many of us (including myself) often forget about color in our practice. So I made a resolution to myself to explore and learn it. I wrote this article along the way and there are tips and tricks for everyone to use in their works. I hope you all find it interesting. Cheers! 🙂

Hi,

Nice article!

I think you already probably know this but the [adobe color](https://color.adobe.com/fr/create/color-wheel) tool is quite useful to get nice color palettes.

There is also the possibility to [extract a color palette from an image](https://color.adobe.com/fr/create/image). It could be a nice challenge to code something similar.
