Best uses

Use the palette generator when you need a brand foundation, a dashboard theme, or a quick way to test how colors behave in context.

  • Start with a brand seed color or mood.
  • Check the contrast before you commit to text colors.
  • Use the palette visualizer to test the set in a layout.
02

What to avoid

Random palettes often look interesting in isolation but collapse when you try to build UI from them. The page should push you toward useful combinations, not just pretty ones.

  • Do not rely on adjacent colors without checking contrast.
  • Do not ship a palette before testing surface and text pairs.
  • Do not treat a color set as finished until it works in a layout.

Related tools

The palette generator works best with the contrast checker and the visualizer because they tell you whether the palette will actually ship.

  • Use the contrast checker to verify text pairs.
  • Use the visualizer to see the palette on a real interface.
  • Use the blog for guidance on accessible color systems.
Questions
Can I use any palette if it looks good?

Only if it also works for text, controls, and hierarchy. A palette has to support the whole interface, not just a single swatch grid.

Why link to contrast and visualizer tools here?

Because a palette is not complete until it has been validated in context. Those pages help turn exploration into something that can ship.
