Do you think I could just leave this part blank and it'd be okay? We're just going to replace the whole thing with a header image anyway, right?

Re: [Release] Color wheel -- Pick a color. Get blocks that match it.
Portals are under backgrounds for some reason.

Thanks for noticing that! I'll have to fix that. What category are they supposed to be under?
Action
Also keys are under basic. Idk if this is because it is a "basic block" and everyone has it, or if it was misplaced.
Diamond is under background, and it should be action.
Switches are under background, and should action.

For the credits page, why do you have to download it?

Oops! That's a new "feature" in this new webserver that I have. I'll have to fix that, just a sec.
EDIT: fixed.

Re: [Release] Color wheel -- Pick a color. Get blocks that match it.
EDIT: A test was conducted (on a totally seperate website) and so far 80% of the users like the old site design. Is the old site better?

Hexagon: I've been receiving some anonymous feedback that the old site was more intuitive. Is the old site better?
Love the design of the current one, looks good and smart. Don't worry about it. Maybe add a placeholder for not used "cards", so it doesn't look that empty on the right side.

Re: [Release] Color wheel -- Pick a color. Get blocks that match it.
I have an idea.I have an idea. What if the background was the selected color? Just add a few borders to the boxes and it would be perfect.
Here's a concept image I made:
EDIT: The borders might not even be necessary, they look kinda ugly.

I think this concept is better, but the design isn't as nice.

I think that this is a really good concept! I'm considering using it right away (with some minor changes).
EDIT2: just pushed it into production. A little buggy :O but still usable.

Awesome! Yeah my design wasn't very appealing, feel free to change it.
Also another idea, most of the blocks were designed for a darker background, and some blocks (with their transparency) look a little weird on the white background.
e.g.
Would you be open to inverting the color of the background and the text?

Yeah I could give that a shot and see how it looks.
Looks something like this *image removed because it was incorrect*
It's not a transparent block but it definitely gives it contrast between the background. I'm thinking maybe something inverted but more localized to the block, so maybe the block's background might change.
EDIT: my bad, misunderstood a bit. The background was black with white text to give transparent blocks a bit of contrast. That feature shall be added!

The "Give Feedback" button isn't there... unless you did that on purpose.

Oops, totally forgot that. I'll stick that in right now 
EDIT: after I squish a few bugs relating to the text color changing when the background doesn't, would it be too weird if the background color changed while you are picking a color, rather than changing when you let go of the mouse?

Re: [Release] Color wheel -- Pick a color. Get blocks that match it.
I love the new layout! It's very clean and organized.
I have an idea, but before I mention it, let me ask you: what is the purpose of having multiple matches?
There is, of course, the fact few people have ALL the packs, so it's always good to give them an option.
But there is also another reason, that has to do with context. We all know that context matters. Just because the match is closest to the color you're looking for doesn't mean it would be best in your artwork. Sometimes, a less saturation is more important than a slightly different hue. Other times, you want more red than green. Since this amazing tool can not be applied in context, the artist needs to decide for themself.
To solve this, I suggest that underneath the hex code, show us the differences in hue, saturation, and lightness. Or maybe the difference in red, green, and blue. Here is what I mean:
Using this new data, the artist could take into account the context of this color and choose accordingly instead of just picking the first one they have.
Yeah, well, you know that's just like, uh, your opinion, man.

Re: [Release] Color wheel -- Pick a color. Get blocks that match it.
That's awesome! I'm totally adding that . It would really add to how people compare colors (since it can be difficult to compare colors just on the colors themselves) like you said. Maybe to extend the hue, saturation and lightness I could add tints, shades and tones (but it might be too much data).

Re: [Release] Color wheel -- Pick a color. Get blocks that match it.
Maybe also add borders to the box saying the color code.

Yeah I was just thinking that; would make sense to add it because it blends in too much with the background.

Absolutely not! This is what I had in mind when I made the concept.

Then have the whole background change along with that little box. Because as is looks weird and doesn't fit it well. Because when you go outside the box like while holding down on the picker. The background doesn't update nor do the blocks. If that could be fixed that would be awesome but it's not a big problem. But the background changing along with the box would make it look nice.

Just added search functionality by request and made background color changing optional.
