About this tool
Palettes for Diwali, Holi, Onam, Pongal and Durga Puja creatives with tint ramps and WCAG contrast checks.
Indian Festival Colour Palette Generator produces a six-role palette — ground, surface, primary, secondary, accent and neutral — for Diwali, Holi, Onam, Pongal, Durga Puja, Navratri, Eid, Baisakhi and Ganesh Chaturthi, with swatches named after the materials each festival uses. Every palette ships with a 50-900 tint and shade ramp built by mixing the hero colour toward white and black in sRGB, plus a contrast audit of each text pairing against the WCAG 2.x thresholds of 4.5:1 for body text and 3:1 for large text. For designers producing festival campaigns who need colours that both look right and stay readable.

Colours are labelled after real referents like kasavu zari, gulal and turmeric, not abstract hue numbers.
A 50-900 scale gives you hover states, borders and disabled tints without picking them by hand.
Six real layout pairings are graded before you build, so festive brights do not quietly fail accessibility.
Diwali creatives usually pair a dark night ground with warm lights: marigold yellow from genda garlands, the amber of clay diyas, and vermilion red. Gold accents are common because the festival coincides with Dhanteras purchases, but practice varies widely by region.
Onam visuals lean on the kasavu cotton of Kerala — an off-white ground with a gold zari border — plus the greens, reds and yellows of the pookalam flower carpet. The white-and-gold combination is the most recognisable signal.
Check the luminance difference, not the hue difference. Saturated orange on saturated red can measure under 2:1 even though the colours clash. Aim for 4.5:1 for body text and 3:1 for headline-sized text, and darken or lighten one side rather than changing its hue.
The colour values themselves are not protected, so yes. Be thoughtful about context though: religious imagery, deities and ritual objects carry meaning that a discount banner may not be the right place for, and regional practice differs, so review the creative with people who celebrate the festival.
