Hi Mohammad,

Thanks for the initiative and the demo. Looks like it will need some 
additional steps to approach the goal of maximal simplicity and user 
friendliness even for beginners – but I would say it’s absolutely worth it!

Motivated by the first example I saw from you I experimented a bit with the 
tools I made some time ago. This is what I could come up with until now and 
what I still consider as much too complicated: 
https://tid.li/tw5/apps/palette.html

Important facts, concepts and questions:

   - this is *experimental* – don’t use it for anything important
   - based on the *primary* colour there are calculated a lot of other 
   colours automagically, all tagged and namespaced
      - neighbouring colours
      - triadic and quadratic contrasting colours
      - like shades and tints in your demo these are meant as an 
      inspiration for tuning, only a few of them should be used
      - some colours are *static* as they are hard to calculate in a 
   meaningful way: colours for buttons, warnings and a rather neutral scale
   - Is it wise to *mix* colours for the scale (opacity = 1) and use *alpha* 
   transparency for the shades? 
   - To transfer the result to another wiki it is relatively safe to copy *the 
   palette* AND all tiddlers tagged *$:/tags/Colours* (drag the tag pill) 
   at the moment.
   - My palette *generator* (compiles all variables to fixed values) leads 
      to problems with transparency in tag colours. rgba definitions seem not 
to 
      work in this form, while they work in transclustions (?!) – I wonder if 
the contrastcolour 
      macro <https://tiddlywiki.com/prerelease/#contrastcolour%20Macro>causes 
      this. 
      - *Readability* can be checked for many TW use cases – but not yet 
   for the tiddler editor buttons for example. (They lack dedicated colours in 
   the CSS.)
   - The *Colour Scheme Manager* is not consistent in the way it is 
   changing colours: backgrounds are changed directly in the palette indexes, 
   while the others change in my new colour tiddlers.

Thanks again and all the best,
Thomas
