Show HN: ColorMinds – AI Coloring Pages Generator for All Ages

https://www.colormindsai.com
2•learningstone•2h ago
Hi everyone ,

I'm an engineer who has spent years building full-stack products at companies like IBM, Alibaba, and Xiaohongshu. Recently, I started working on an AI-driven creative tool for families, designers, and educators — *ColorMindsAI.com*.

  https://www.colormindsai.com  
ColorMinds turns text prompts into printable coloring pages in seconds. Type something like “a cat flying a kite in a forest” or “space-themed birthday scene”, and you instantly get a ready-to-color outline.

A few things that make it unique: - Fast and free to try — built with a modern AI stack - Thousands of themed pages (animals, holidays, fantasy, and more) - Users can favorite, remix, and even create story-based coloring series - A growing collection for kids, parents, and creative hobbyists worldwide

I'm currently experimenting with multilingual support and an AI story-to-coloring feature. Feedback from this community would be super valuable — ideas, criticisms, or crazy use-cases are all welcome!

*Try it here:* https://www.colormindsai.com *More experiments:* https://geminibanana.fun

Thanks for reading — and if you have kids, teach art, or work in education, I'd love to hear what kind of coloring pages you'd love to see next.

The whole website looks AI generated (I mean the frontend itself, not just the images which obviously are). Is that the case or is your design language just very similar to that of modern LLMs?

Also,

Are you sure about the legality of distributing coloring images of copyrighted characters on a commercial website? Especially of Nintendo characters???

Great question — and fair point!

Yes, the frontend was actually generated with the help of AI. I used an AI code assistant to scaffold the initial React + Vite structure and component layout, then refined and customized it manually to make it production-ready.

I wanted to explore how far current AI tools can go in building functional, aesthetic UIs — and where human input is still essential. ColorMinds is kind of an experiment in that sense: AI-assisted creation, but human-curated output.

Regarding the images — they’re all AI-generated from original prompts (no scraping or reuse of copyrighted material). We also filter out prompts that could resemble well-known IPs like Nintendo or Disney to stay on the safe side.

Appreciate you raising both points
