Want your bedroom to look like a "sunset in Paris"? A new AI project will help you find the right color scheme from a simple text description. Danny Richman's Free GPT-3 Color Palette Generator uses machine learning to pick out colors associated with text phrases. You might, for example, enter "baby nursery" or "New England" or "Martian sunset" and the AI will find a palette of four colors associated with that term. Richman's generator, which is built in Google Sheets and is free for anyone to use, also returns the HEX values, making it easy for web designers to apply those colors on their websites, for example.
