palettes Free Gradient Palettes

[Realto]

I have a bunch of gradients that I created that I wanted to share with the rest of the community. For each palette I created a screenshot from Designer so you would have a better idea if you want to actually download them or not. They were all created semi-randomly so there's a lot of mixed results. Some I think turned out great; Others not so much! I didn't really filter them, I just flew threw them and added them all to a palette as I went.

I also have several thousand SVGs that I created using the same process that I haven't converted into palettes yet. If there's any interest, I can upload those at a later date.

Why did you do this? I haven't seen many free downloads available since version 2 was released, so I wound up making my own. It was a little time-consuming getting the PHP created on the backend to create all of the SVGs that I used to create the palettes, but now I have a process in place to mass-produce them in the future should I find the current ones are lacking in some aspect(s).

What would you have done differently? If I didn't just want to get a finished product done so that I could use it in my own work, I would have taken a bit more time and made the SVGs a bit more random as far as what percentage the stops were created with. I basically split all the colors up evenly, but I'm curious if they would have been much different if I had randomized the stops, too. That will probably be done in the next version that I work on. 

Will you create any more? If anyone is interested in additional palettes, please post a message in here and I will do what I can. I'm also interested in any suggestions/critiques/criticisms that anyone may have. Feedback is always a positive: good, bad or indifferent.

I really hope that someone will be able to take advantage of my work and incorporate it into their own projects. You know what they say about working in a vacuum: it really sucks!

Hallo ontroerend goed,

Misschien een domme vraag maar waar moet ik deze plaatsen en hoe te installeren. Ben er niet zo handig in.

In iedergeval hartelijk dank voor het delen.

Met vriendelijke groet, Wim

YouTube video

I created a very short video that shows how to import the attached files and use in Designer. Hope this helps anyone that might have any questions. It only takes a few steps and less than 30 seconds. The only thing you have to know is where you save the files, because you have to open them from your saved location to import them.

(I tried to figure out how to embed the video directly into my reply, but the best I could do was add the link to the video. Sorry!)

Good luck!

Ik heb een korte YouTube-video gemaakt die laat zien hoe je de bestanden kunt importeren.

First, I want to say thank you for sharing!

One question: by the looks of things, the "Gradients2024" might be a combined palette of the other three. Is that correct? (Because I'd install only that one, if that's correct.)

Not exactly. It IS a combination of the three styles I used, but other than random chance there shouldn't be much duplication. I have a collection of about 3500 different colors and they were used to create the "random" colors. That 3500 is divided into 16 groups and then for each of the gradients I had one randomly selected from each group. I'm probably going to thin that list down by removing some of the duller colors that didn't create very interesting gradients, but I have no idea when that will be. The ones that I created so far have some nice gradients, but not much yet that really blew my skirt up. This was my first real attempt, so I need to refine the process to get it dialed in. Creating gradients manually is a real chore, no offense to Affinity. I may wind up creating a more robust web app that takes the existing code I have and makes it easier to create the SVGs for direct import since process works very well in Designer.
