I can't view your legal terms without agreeing to your legal terms.

If you click outside the modal it'll dismiss it. Since that's not clicking OK to agree to the legal terms, it's not accepting them.

I am assuming you're a friendly HN reader offering a workaround, and not the site's dev. Is that correct?

Yep!

Alternatives:

http://www.colorschemer.com/online.html

http://paletton.com/

And a desktop application:

http://home.gna.org/colorscheme/

This was always a personal favorite of mine. http://paletton.com/

I'm not sure about a ten step tutorial before you even get to click on anything, but the app is great fun.

Unless you want to use the back button...

Awesome. I liked the quick tutorial, which highlights relevant parts of the site while showing tips.

nice try, but adobe got in the game long ago :)

Applying the same logic: "Google shouldn't have built their search engine because Alta Vista and Yahoo got in the game much before them."

It is nice of you to point out an existing product which is similar. But isn't it better to encourage (or provide constructive criticism) rather than dissuade this?

not always. i'm all for the "theme and variations" style of software development, provided the variations offer something distinctly novel. that doesn't seem to be the case here.

Adobe completely ripped off the idea[1] from COLOURlovers[2]

Doesn't Kuler predate Colourlovers?

I believe it doesn't. COLOURlovers was created in 2004 and Kuler in 2006.

Yep, I distinctly remember Kuler launching after CL. And that CL blog post[0] agrees

Nope!

It would be nice if we could start with a "seed" colour

You can just enter in a colour in one of the boxes and then lock it in.
