Color Palette

A Color Palette Generator is an AI-powered design tool that creates harmonious color combinations using advanced color theory algorithms. It can generate palettes from scratch using mathematical color relationships (analogous, complementary, triadic, monochromatic) or extract dominant colors from uploaded images using ColorThief technology. Perfect for web designers, graphic artists, brand creators, and anyone needing professional color schemes.

Yes! Upload any image (JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP) and our tool will automatically extract the dominant colors using advanced color analysis algorithms. This is perfect for creating brand color schemes from photos, matching website colors to hero images, or extracting colors from design inspiration. The extraction happens instantly in your browser for complete privacy.

Random mode creates diverse, unexpected combinations. Analogous mode (colors next to each other on the color wheel) creates harmonious, pleasing designs. Complementary mode (opposite colors) provides high contrast and energy. Triadic mode (three evenly-spaced colors) offers balanced vibrancy. Monochromatic mode (variations of one hue) creates sophisticated, cohesive looks. Choose based on your design mood and purpose.

Use the palette size selector to choose between 5, 10, or 15 colors. Smaller palettes (5 colors) are ideal for minimalist designs and brand identity. Medium palettes (10 colors) work great for websites and UI design. Larger palettes (15 colors) are perfect for comprehensive design systems and complex projects requiring many color variations.

Click the lock icon on any color to keep it fixed in your palette. When you generate a new palette, locked colors stay in place while unlocked colors regenerate. This is incredibly useful when you have brand colors or specific hues you must include, allowing you to explore variations while maintaining your core colors. You can lock multiple colors simultaneously.

Export palettes in three professional formats: CSS (as CSS custom properties/variables ready to paste in stylesheets), JSON (structured data with HEX, RGB, and HSL values for programming), or SVG (visual swatches for design software). Each format includes your palette name and all color information, making it easy to integrate into any workflow.

Our AI automatically generates descriptive names for your palettes (like 'Vibrant Symphony' or 'Serene Harmony') based on color characteristics. Mood tags ('Energetic', 'Calm', 'Bold', 'Sophisticated') are assigned by analyzing luminance and saturation levels, helping you organize and select palettes that match your project's emotional tone.

Absolutely! Save unlimited palettes to your browser's local storage. Each saved palette includes the name, colors, mood tag, creation timestamp, and source (image or generated). Access your saved palettes anytime, reload them for editing, or delete ones you no longer need. Your palette library persists across sessions.

Use the share button to share palettes via your device's native share menu (on supported devices) or automatically copy all color codes to your clipboard. You can also export palettes as files and send them via email, messaging apps, or cloud storage. Each export format is ready for immediate use by developers and designers.

The tool primarily displays HEX codes (e.g., #FF5733) for universal compatibility. When you export as JSON, you also get RGB (e.g., rgb(255, 87, 51)) and HSL (e.g., hsl(14, 100%, 60%)) formats. HEX is perfect for web development and design tools, while RGB and HSL are useful for programming and precise color manipulation.
