Inspiration of design

A designer on my team thought it was tedious to have to toggle a command when choosing a colour each time to check the contrast. During exploration it is easier to choose a colour and get realtime feedback.

I thought what if it we brought back a bit of Winamp skins style in this day and age and if it is even possible 🤔. Found this Winamp Sketch file by Anja van Staden and was able to make the UI in Sketch with HTML/CSS.
