Colormind vs Lordicon
Colormind generates five-color palettes from a model trained on movies, art, and popular color schemes, returning a plain array of RGB triples from a single POST to /api/ with no signup. A live probe of the real gateway confirmed it now answers over HTTPS as well as HTTP (correcting https false -> true) and sends Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * on every response, resolving cors unknown -> yes.
Lordicon is a library of 46,400+ static and animated (Lottie/JSON-based) icons, embeddable via its player script or fetched directly from its CDN with no key required for free use; paid plans unlock the full catalog and commercial licensing. A live GET against the real asset host, cdn.lordicon.com, returned a genuine 404 for a made-up asset ID while carrying Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *, reconfirming both auth None and cors yes — the marketing homepage itself sends a stricter, non-wildcard CORS header, but that isn't the asset-serving endpoint.
