Motivation

Finding - or thinking of - a beautiful color palette to use in your next project is such a complicated - and important - task: sometimes you've just lost all your creativity or sometimes you just can't get the right inspiration.

Then you go search through flat colors websites and get tons of those - but you still can't combine them in a beautiful palette.

Then you find lots of those most-wanted inspirational palettes in cool sites. But you still can't help yourself in choosing one amongst 2000+ options.

Then you get to my problem: choosing a random color palette which I know I'm probably going to appreciate - and use in my project - in 5- minutes. Luckily you also get to the solution: flat-palettes.
