Yes, I am the sole author. I devised the > colour palette from scratch and occasionally make minor tweaks to it. Let me repeat Po Lu's warning of IANAL, but from a cursory search online it appears that color schemes themselves can't be copyrighted, at least under some legal environments (I'm in America, so I'm assuming my searches are returning results at least semi-pertinent to American law). You /can/ copyright images that use certain colors, but not the actual pallette or distribution of colors themselves. I would assume it's like how recipes are non-copywriteable (hence the long digressions into the author's personal life preceding all recipes found online). I only checked [1] and [2] before sending this email, so you might want to consult with a lawyer in your jurisdiction.
