Getting started
- Open the palette generator on the website and press the spacebar to produce new color combinations.
- Use the image picker to extract colors from a photo, or browse the ready-made palettes under Explore.
- Once you settle on a palette, check legibility with the contrast checker before using the color codes in your design.
Decision points
- Consider it when you want palette generation, image color picking and contrast checks in one site.
- If the save limits or ads get in the way, compare the paid plan and alternatives.
Limits
- A free account can save 10 palettes, 1 project and 1 collection, generate palettes of up to 5 colors, and shows ads; Pro lifts these limits. Check current terms in your account.
- The pricing page makes no explicit statement about commercial use or attribution for palettes; read the site's terms before using a palette in a commercial project.
