7 Best Tools to Generate Color Palettes
Colors are among the most important elements of every design and artwork. However, it is not an easy task to find the best fitting color palette for a website, application, or other product. A lot of rules and guidelines need to be followed to find the perfect color scheme to suit your website.
There are several online tools that can help generate a winning color palette. One can also use galleries or generators to quickly create a fitting color scheme for their design. Color palette galleries are collections created by either human designers or algorithms, while color palette generators allow you to manually design a palette. On the web, you will find color palette apps that provide both functions. For instance, you can create a palette with the generator and check out similar palettes in the gallery generated by other users.
Below we mention some great tools to generate amazing color palettes as per your requirements:
1. COLOURlovers: This is the biggest online community related to colors, with more than 8 million members. You can browse millions of palettes uploaded by the members. Besides the gallery, COLOURlovers also has its own color palette generator called COPASO. You can also browse patterns, pattern templates, and shapes on this tool.
2. Adobe Color CC: With Adobe’s color wheel, you can create analogous, monochromatic, triadic, complementary, and compound color palettes. It also has an option to generate different shades of the same color. The interface is a pretty straightforward interface and fairly easy to use. You can move the color wheel itself or use the range sliders below it. Adobe Color CC has a color gallery as well where you can check out the creations of other designers.
3. ColorDrop.io: ColorDrop is an excellent tool if you quickly need a palette for flat design. It is a color palette gallery that hosts numerous combinations of flat colors. You only need to scroll through the gallery and choose the color palettes you like. You can either add the palettes to your favorites or copy the hex/RGB codes of the colors.
4. Ambiance: Ambiance pulls random color palettes from COLOURlovers and displays them in the form of huge color cards. Its main advantage relies on the cleanness of the interface. It is very easy to use, you can just push the “Generate” button until you find a palette you like. Then, you can copy the color codes to the clipboard with just a single click.
5. Palettable: Palettable is probably the most fun color palette generator. The app displays a random color right after you landed on the page. You can decide whether you like or dislike the color by hitting either the “L” or the “D” keys. If you like a color, the tool displays a second color that matches the first one. If you dislike it, you are provided more options until you hit “L”. By the end, you have a full-color palette ready to use.
6. Color: Coloration has three color galleries, one for regular color palettes, one for material design, and one for flat UI design. If you click on a color you can search for related palettes. Coloration also provides you with a search bar in which you can look up all the base colors and their related palettes. Moreover, it has a simple color palette generator that allows you to generate a material color palette, extracted from your image upload.
7. Material Design Palette: This is the perfect tool if you quickly need a material color palette. You only need to pick two colors and the app takes care of the rest. The result is a downloadable color palette with eight harmonizing colors. Apart from the palettes, it also has a material icon library that excellently complements the colors.
