bon matin!

as shown during yesterday’s meetup, here’s VL.ColourLovers, a handy utility node that allows to search for cool color palettes from ColourLovers.com and use them in your patch, all from vvvv.

Features :

  • Search for palettes by keyword/and or color
  • Double-click a palette in the search results and simply do CTRL+V in your patch to paste it as an RGBA Spread IOBox
  • If searching by color, either set the color manually with the color widget, or press CTRL+T to enable the color-picker and double click anywhere on your screen to grab the color under your mouse pointer.
  • You can mark palettes as favorites and find them in the “Favorites” tab. Those can be exported to an XML file so you can re-use them in another project

As you can see there’s a small glitch when showing search results, will investigate that…

To install, go to gamma’s command line and type

nuget install VL.ColourLovers -pre

It comes with a small help patch explaining all the features.

Please shout here or on Github if you have any issues/suggestions!

@AKa-visuals Hey there! Thanks for the feedback!

Indeed, I’m getting a 403 - Forbidden error here, investigating…

EDIT: OK, this is odd. I have no issue making an API call from a web browser, but I’m getting a 403 error with the HTTPGet node and from a python script… I just saw someone posted a similar issue on ColourLover’s forums a few days ago, will keep you posted if I see something!

P-PS: Just sent an email to ColourLovers, let’s see if they get back to me!

Edit May 21: I’ve been exchanging emails with the people from ColourLovers and indeed, something has changed on their side. I’m waiting for answers, will update soon as I hear from them!
