My submission for the makeathon: tintura! Try it here: https://tiffanytfmao.github.io/Tintura/ I built a color diary for the things that stop you mid-walk. It's called tintura! As a designer, my phone is full of the thousands of photos for "future color references", but they often get lost in the huge void of my camera roll. You photograph something you notice — the way the red flower stands out against the grass, or the way the tree's shadow is slightly green. Then Tintura helps you turn that moment into a named palette: your colors, your words, saved into a diary that slowly becomes a map of how you see. A few decisions I'm proud of: The Roll — when you capture a photo, it doesn't go straight into your diary. It gets blurred, like undeveloped film, until you're ready to sit with it and pick the colors. I felt like the distance between noticing and remembering was different enough to be implemented. The eyedropper constraint — you can only pick colors that actually exist in the photo so that the palette is evidence of what was there. The blend — select two entries, and Tintura merges their palettes using CIELAB perceptual color science. Then its up to you to adjust as you like! Over time, your diary becomes something else: a record of your own taste. The colors that you keep noticing, again and again. The palette of how YOU actually see. I built this because I'm a designer who can't stop noticing things, and I never had anywhere to put it. Made in Figma and Figma make and finished in Github — there's no backend, no external APIs, zero hardcoded palette data. Everything in the diary is yours!
