## What it is
An open-source static website and reference library of 742 Chinese traditional colors, providing high-resolution color cards with HEX, RGB, HSL, and CMYK values. It includes interactive tools for scene testing, palette generation, harmony browsing, gradient inspection, shadcn theme forging, and terminal color scheme building.

## Use cases
- find Chinese traditional color references with hex values
- generate color palettes from traditional Chinese colors
- build a shadcn UI theme from a Chinese color
- configure a 16-color ANSI terminal palette
- preview colors in website, poster, or slide layouts
- browse color harmony and gradient relationships
- download a local library of color card images

## When to choose
- you need authentic Chinese traditional colors with full color values for design or content work
- you want an offline/downloadable color card library matched to a canonical 742-color list
- you want to turn an anchor color into a usable UI or terminal theme

## When to avoid
- you need a programmatic color API or npm package rather than a website and image assets
- you need general-purpose color science tools unrelated to Chinese traditional colors
- you need a dynamic server-side application rather than a static site
