Color Palette Generator

This project provides a user-friendly interface for generating random color palettes using the Colormind API. Users can select from predefined models to create unique palettes, which are saved to a local SQLite database for future use. The project is built using Streamlit for the frontend and Python for backend operations.

---

Features

• Model Selection: Choose from predefined models like default, ui, and metroid_fusion to generate palettes.
• Random Palette Generation: Generates five random colors using the selected model.
• Database Integration: Saves generated palettes to an SQLite database for persistence.
• Visual Display: Displays generated palettes in a visually appealing way with RGB color codes.

• Python 3.7 or later
• Required Python libraries:
  • streamlit
  • requests
  • sqlite3 (built-in with Python)

Install the required libraries using pip:

pip install streamlit requests

Usage

• Launch the application in your browser.
• Click on a model button (e.g., Generate Default) to create a palette.
• View the generated palette, including RGB codes, displayed visually.
• Palettes are automatically saved to the palettes.db SQLite database.

Example

Below is an example of a generated palette:

Color	RGB Code
	(255, 87, 51)
	(51, 255, 87)
	(51, 87, 255)
	(255, 255, 51)
	(51, 255, 255)

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. API Errors: Ensure you have an active internet connection. If the API response is empty, verify the model name.

2. Database Issues: If there are problems with the database, delete the palettes.db file to reset it.
