Trouble with custom pallette

[ncc-swann]

Hi

I am using elm-ui-widgets and generally find it awesome and very useful, so thank you!

I am currently trying to change the default pallette to something custom, but colors do not seem to be represented correctly on screen. I am only changing the primary color of the default pallette for now, leaving the rest alone, but I am experiencing jade represented as light brownish, a shade of blue being represented as green etc.

Do you have any insight into what might be going on?

Best regards
Nicolai

Of course.
!! Now with updated link to the Ellie !!

Here is a link to the Ellie: https://ellie-app.com/n62jNwkctCHa1
And here is a link to how the CIELCH color used as primary color should look like: https://convertingcolors.com/cielch-color-42_62.639_291.077.html?search=CIELCH(42,%2062.639,%20291.077)#00ABAB

I'm not sure why this happens. I'm actually relying on noahzgordon/elm-color-extra to convert from LAB to RGB. The conversion from LCH to LAB should be correct (it's just one line, that I double-checked just now).

Also, I never had any problems with that function – I have actually been using it a lot. However, I never tried to directly create a CIELCH color, like you are doing. So my guess is that some factor is wrong somewhere. Maybe the range of my implementation is different to the range used by convertingcolors.com?

I am considering this a niche-problem, and I currently don't have time to fix this. So I will leave it as is.

If you need a fix, please try to find a solution and open a PR.

Thank you for looking into it.
People at my company don't like the default purple look, so I will have to come up with a solution eventually.

Use avh4/elm-color to define colors. You can use any rgb value.
