Opens in a new tab. We do not control this site and it may have changed since we catalogued it.
Paletton sits in Design Playgrounds under Make, and we have it filed as coffee break — five to fifteen minutes of proper attention. It reads as useful and brainy.
Palette builders, type playgrounds, background generators and gradient tools. Half of professional design is trying things quickly, and these are for trying things quickly.
The proper colour wheel — analogous, triadic, split complementary — plus contrast checks for accessibility.
A visual board for collecting images and ideas, without an algorithm deciding what you should have been collecting instead.
Hand-picked four-colour palettes posted daily and sorted by mood, with none of a generator's randomness.
Palette generator trained on photographs and films, so the colours it suggests look like they came from somewhere real.
Generates hero images — gradients, particles, triangles, topography — at whatever resolution you need, free to download.
Hit the space bar for a five-colour palette, lock the ones you like, hit it again. The whole tool is that loop.
Builds a gradient visually and hands over the CSS, including the awkward multi-stop and radial cases.
Two dozen SVG generators in one place — noise, grain, blobs, dots, gradients, mesh — all exportable and all free.
