But no explanation of what the colours are for, where they're from, what happens if you hit Reload. My assumption was that there was some clever algorithm to choose a "nice" set of colours from a wide palette, not that it was little more than a single colour swatch.

As I said: too minimal.

Now, if someone did have a web app that would choose nice colours that go well together according to clearly-defined, documented algorithm, I'd be very happy with that. As long as there was some text somewhere to explain what it did.

I don't get why he would document what happens when you hit reload. The page reloads. The colors are all the same and can't be adjusted, so obviously it can't be met to be a means of choosing colors. Where did you even get these expectations from?
