Okay, so how do you find brand colors for whatever kind of creative project you’re working on? Today, I’ve got two websites that I think are amazing for any kind of creative work where you’re looking for colors, hex codes, and figuring out how things will work together.
First, let me show you something I personally use—my Brand Kit section in Notion. Anytime I come across interesting hex codes or fonts, I save them here. It’s a memory dump where I can reference things later on. I have a few pages like this, depending on the project or business, and it’s really useful for staying organized and keeping track of ideas.
Now, let’s get into the two sites I want to share with you today. The first one is called ColorSpace.
At the top, you can insert any hex code you want. What’s great is you can save the URL of the page with that hex code, so you can come back to it later if needed. The site is mycolor.space (and I’ll include the link in the description). You just plug in the hex code, and you can also adjust it by clicking anywhere on the RGB graph if you want to experiment with different shades.
Once you click generate, ColorSpace gives you a bunch of different gradient matches. You get things like a spot palette, matching gradients, generic gradients, and more. There are tons of options to explore, all based on your original hex code. This tool is super handy for figuring out what color palettes go well together, which is especially useful for web design, graphic design, or any other creative work where you need to know how colors interact.
The second tool I want to share is UIC Colors. You can find it at uicolors.app. This site works similarly in that you can plug in any hex code, but it also allows for HSL input if you prefer. Once you enter the hex code, it shows you a ton of contrasting colors and how that original color works in various design elements like buttons and graphics. It’s incredibly useful for seeing how colors look in different contexts.
What’s even better is you can copy a hex code from ColorSpace, paste it into UIC Colors, and instantly see how everything changes. It’s fast and efficient, perfect for graphic design, web design, filmmaking, video editing, or any other creative work where you need to experiment with color schemes.
Here’s a general tip: Create your own Brand Kit! Every time you come across interesting fonts or hex codes online, save them. I even have a font video on finding fonts through a Chrome application, which I’ll link to as well.
I hope this video has been helpful! I’ll drop the URLs for both of these tools in the description below. Thanks for watching, and I’ll see you in the next one!
