## What it is
Poline is a tiny TypeScript micro-library that generates color palettes by interpolating HSL colors in polar/cartesian space between anchor points. It is aimed at generative artists and designers who want visually striking, unconventional palettes.

## Use cases
- generate color palettes for generative art
- interpolate colors in HSL space
- create palettes from anchor colors
- get CSS color strings for a palette
- generate random color schemes for design projects

## When to choose
- you need a small dependency-free palette generator for creative coding or generative art
- you want HSL-based interpolation that produces vivid, unconventional palettes
- you want programmatic palette generation in JavaScript/TypeScript

## When to avoid
- you need perceptually uniform, color-science-accurate interpolation (e.g. OKLCH/CIELAB)
- you need a GUI palette picker rather than a code library
- you need palette extraction from images

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: image-processing, data-visualization, developer-tools
- domain: graphics, web-development, web-design
- platform: browser, cross-platform
- tags: color-palette, hsl, generative-art, color-interpolation, typescript, micro-library, polar-coordinates, nodejs, web-server
