Fade To Blue

Naz Hamid has redone his website. The impetus seems to have been changing from a color palette that has been adopted as the de facto standard among LLMs. He worried that his visitors would think it was something coded on vibes. So he switched to blues.

I paused to think about what I found inspiring at this time, and what feels fundamentally me. The answer lay in a mix of blueprints, indigo dyes, and selvedge denim. Add in some mid-century Americana via compartmentalized typography, and here we are. In hindsight, I’ve used shades of blue a number of times with Weightshift, but had left it behind. The blues are back.

The site looks good and, even though I have played around with the Claude color palette myself and find it quite pleasing, it’s nice to see something different.
