Please let us search by Hex colours!
If I need to match the map to my colour scheme exactly, without spending time editing / creating my own, it would be great to see if anyone has created a map with the colour I'm looking for first. Cheers
Hey,
That’s a really cool idea and one I have thought of adding before. The difficulty arises because in addition to just the hex color, you can define saturation, lightness, and gamma. Not to mention you can tweak just the hue of any element as well. Calculating the resulting hex color sounds really difficult to me and might not even be possible if we don’t get all the data from Google that we need.
I’d like to add something similar to the Dribbble color search (https://dribbble.com/colors/66ee78) but we might have to look into what is actually possible for the styles.
Thanks for the suggestion!

Using that Vibrant.js library is an awesome idea! We already take screenshots of all the styles so feeding those through that library might actually work out great. I'll have to do some tests with it to see how well it works but it sounds promising. Thanks!

Hey!
Yeah, I guess searching for all the specific colours used in the map might be a bit of a grind but the colour search on Dribbble would be perfect.
Another site that uses a similar colour search is http://designspiration.net/colors/C73E87/ and I imagine they use the same script. Which might be something similar to this: http://jariz.github.io/vibrant.js/
Cheers,
Kerr
