[04] How it works

A color palette generator that stays out of your way

Press space, that's the whole trick

Every press gives you five colors that go together. Don't like them, press again. There's no account needed, no limit on how many you make and nothing to install.

Click any hex code to copy it, and undo takes you back to a palette you lost. Save the keepers to a free account and they wait for you here.

Pull a palette from a photo

Drop a photo on the page, or paste one, and the tool picks the colors from it. It's how most of the palettes on our Pinterest were made, from a photo of oranges on a market stall or a leaf after the rain. The photo stays on your computer, nothing is uploaded.

You get the five colors that carry the picture, lightest to darkest, ready to copy or save.

Modes, if you want them

Auto mixes things up. Tonal gives you one color in five steps, which is the one i use most. Analogous keeps neighbours together, complementary adds a contrast, and pastel, earthy, dusk and vivid set a mood for you.

Colors are built in OKLCH, so the steps look even to the eye and nothing comes out muddy or blown out.

Take the colors with you

Every palette has a link you can copy and send, and it opens on the same colors. Export gives you the hex list, CSS variables, SCSS, JSON and Tailwind, or a PNG of the cards at pin, square or wide size.

Switch to the Type view to see the palette on one of our typefaces before you commit to it.

[05] Questions

Things people ask

Is it really free?

Yes, completely. No sign-up, no limits and no watermark on the code. The PNG carries a small cedilla.studio line at the bottom, that's all.

Where do the color names come from?

Each swatch shows the nearest match from an open list of around five thousand named colors, so two close shades can share a name. The hex and RGB values are exact.

Can I use the palettes in client work?

Colors can't be owned, so yes. Use them in anything, commercial or not, with no credit needed.

Does my photo get uploaded?

No. The colors are read in your browser and the photo never leaves your computer. The PNG you download is drawn in your browser too.
