## Description

This project is a web-based color reference and progressive web application that provides a curated database of traditional Chinese colors. It serves as a searchable catalog where users can find color palettes associated with poetic descriptions and specific hex codes.

The application allows users to filter colors by category and manage a personalized list of favorites. It includes clipboard integration for copying hex values directly for use in external design tools.

The system is designed for offline accessibility through a service worker and PWA configuration, allowing it to be installed as a standalone application on a home screen.
