Ember - Redshift-safe color palettes for terminals and charts
Show HN: Ember – Redshift safe color palettes
Ember is a collection of color palettes designed to remain distinguishable under warm-screen filters like Redshift and Night Shift. It provides terminal themes, UI surfaces, categorical chart colors, and sequential maps for four color-temperature profiles (3400K, 2000K, 1200K). The palettes are optimized to keep colors distinct both with and without the filter, using a science-based approach that models the display transform. Available for Alacritty, iTerm2, Windows Terminal, Matplotlib, CSS, and JSON, Ember helps developers and data scientists maintain visual clarity during nighttime computing.
Ember was created to solve the problem of traditional color palettes having colors that appear indistinguishable once you turn on redshift.

This looks nice, I will try it out.
The README could use more of a human touch, though… it’s pretty hard to read.

Pretty neat! I currently have night shift active on my phone (it’s 11 PM here), so I have to take into account that the preview of what it looks like with redshift on is filtered twice for me, but I can see from the preview images that have not had filtering applied ahead of time that it does look good and distinguishable :)
The README having a lot of preview images is great.
If you could I would also much appreciate if there were a couple of example web pages linked that uses your CSS. For example if you make a GitHub pages branch in your repo and use it to host a couple of different kind of HTML pages (like an example blog post page with either lorem ipsum text or for example repeating parts of the text that you have in the README itself, and also an example dashboard page for example). So that one can look at that too in addition to the images in the README.

I wanted to say "under filter" ones look way better, but then realized I have redshift enabled, so I was looking at double filtered ones!
