It’s Realistic
Color Palettes make it hard to pick. This tool distributes the colors on a real website.
It’s simple
Push a few buttons, and there you have it! Your very own branding colors, ready to export.
How Does it Work?
You’ll get your finalized color palette in 4 simple steps.
Start with two neutral colors for the text and the background.
Choose your buttons. Primary is for main CTAs, and Secondary is for less important buttons and info cards.
Accent color is an additional color. It appears in images, highlights, hyperlinks, boxes, cards, etc. It can be the same as your third color (primary button) or another color.
Happy with the results? Press on “Export” and receive a .zip file with your color palette in .png and your color codes in .txt files.
FAQ
Answers to some questions you might have.
How many colors should I choose?
Normally, 3 colors are absolutely fine (meaning background, text, and one accent color).
However, if you want, you can have more. Usually, we don’t add more than 6 colors across a platform. It would just make things too... complicated. Plus, it makes it hard to keep the colors consistent throughout the design.
Why does the text color change sometimes?
The tool is supposed to show you a realistic image of your colors of choice. However, sometimes, there might be too little contrast between the background color and the text color of some elements. In that case, the text color swaps accordingly to prevent the text from being unreadable. This is activated when the AA and AAA color contrast check doesn’t pass. Keep in mind: The text color will only swap between the background and text colors you’ve chosen to try and pass the contrast check. It won’t select any color outside of your choices.
What will I receive after exporting my colors?
After exporting, you will receive a .zip file. This file is compressed, so you will have to extract it.
After extracting it, you will see a .png file and a .txt file. The .png image shows your color palette in squares next to each other. The .txt file includes the color codes in HEX and RGB. You can send these files to designers or developers, or just use them in your project.
Why do some colors have some transparency?
This website allows you to choose only opaque colors. However, to make the design more appealing, I’ve make some parts more transparent by adding a bit of opacity to them. Of course, you can use these colors however you want in your own projects.
