ColorPalGen

What ColorPalGen is

ColorPalGen is a browser-based design tool for generating and working with color palettes. It can create palettes from prompts, images, or color codes, and its image picker extracts colors from photos or brand assets. Smart color harmony rules help shape palettes. A contrast checker evaluates foreground and background colors against WCAG 2.1 AA and AAA criteria, simulates color blindness, and provides suggestions. Palette exports are available as HEX, RGB, HSL, CSS variables, Tailwind tokens, JSON, and SCSS. Users can also create linear and radial gradients, adjust color stops, and copy CSS. Other listed tools include a color wheel, font styler, and color schemes library. The free plan is listed as free and includes unlimited palette generation, contrast testing, and export previews. ColorPalGen uses a freemium model; paid plans add collaboration, versioning, and brand workspaces. The listed platform is web.
