How to build a colour palette
Four colour tools in one — extract, harmonise, gradient and check.
- 1
Pull colours from a photo
Drop in any image and the tool reads out its dominant, visually-distinct colours as copyable HEX swatches.
- 2
Generate harmonies
Pick a base colour, then get analogous, complementary, triadic, tetradic or monochromatic palettes that always look balanced.
- 3
Build a CSS gradient
Choose two colours and an angle, preview it live, and copy the ready-to-paste CSS.
- 4
Check contrast
Test any text and background pair against WCAG AA and AAA so your design stays readable and accessible.
Colour Palette Generator — FAQ
Is this colour tool free?
Yes — extract palettes, build harmonies and gradients and check contrast as much as you like, free and with no signup. Pro adds palette exports (PNG, SVG, Tailwind, .ase) and saved brand colours.
Are my images uploaded?
No. Your photo is read directly in your browser to sample its colours — nothing is uploaded or stored anywhere.
How do I copy a colour?
Click any swatch to copy its HEX code to your clipboard. Use “Copy all hex codes” to grab the whole palette at once.
What is WCAG contrast?
It is the accessibility standard for readable text. 4.5:1 passes AA for normal text, 7:1 passes AAA, and 3:1 passes AA for large text. The checker grades any pair instantly.
Can I use these colours commercially?
Yes — colours and gradients you create are yours to use anywhere, no attribution needed.
