Ahh, thanks for the feedback! I can definitely tone down the animations... Or maybe remove them for everything but the homepage.

I did the reload / separate pages because 1) to make my life easier building it lol and 2) so you could send links to specific palettes.

Check out the pushState/replaceState/popstate API to update the URI without reloading the page, while still sending users with the link directly to that colour scheme.

IMO the animate on page load was fine. It was the animations upon scrolling that got annoying after a while.

Also, there are a few ways to change url without reloads, though, yeah, that might add some complexity.
