🧑‍💻 About Me

Hi! I'm Tong, a solo developer and creator of WhatColorMake.com. I'm passionate about visual design, color theory, and coding tools that help creators explore ideas more easily.

As an indie hacker, I love building simple yet powerful tools that solve real problems. When I'm not coding, you'll find me experimenting with colors, learning about design principles, or exploring new web technologies.

🚀 The Story Behind WhatColorMake

This site started as a small weekend project when I struggled to explain color mixing to a young student. I realized that while there were many color tools online, most were either too complex for beginners or too basic for serious design work.

Over time, I discovered that many people—designers, kids, DIY artists, students—could benefit from an intuitive, accurate tool that shows what colors make another color. So I built this.

"The best tools are the ones that get out of your way and let you focus on creating."

WhatColorMake is still a work in progress. I created it out of curiosity and a love for visual design, and I hope it can be useful to others on a similar creative journey.
