Algorithm

[Thor Collard]

I just have a question.

I am wondering if the algorithm or original source code is documented anywhere?

In particular, the given primary color is not in the 'center' of the palette, I am wondering how it chooses the place for the given color. For instance a light color might be assigned to '100' and mostly darker colors generated, but a darker color might be assigned to '700' or '800' and mostly lighter colors generated.

Thank you.

Hi @Thorski, that's the big downside to this repo. The only thing I was trying to do with this project was to make Google's version that is buried in their docs easier to find in a web search. Unfortunately it uses the obfuscated code.

I'm not aware of any place the algorithm or original source code is published

There are several attempts to reverse engineer the algorithm, like eugeneford/material-palette-generator and wszgrcy/material-color-palettes-generator (with Chinese comments).

Hope it helps.

Interesting. Thanks @MaxLOh.
