picolor.js
JavaScript color picker for picking colors in LCH space. It is optimized for picking visually distinct colors for maps, but can be used for anything else.
Why not use a stock color picker?
Picking suitable colors for maps are hard, especially when it comes to selecting visually distinct colors for a range of values. picolor.js aims to ease that process by providing smart pre-set visually distinct colors and palettes.
