PaletteMaker is a web app for creating AI-generated color palettes and previewing them in design contexts. Users can filter palettes by color tone and number of colors, then see how those colors appear in examples for web and mobile UI, branding and logos, illustration, typography, posters, and patterns. The app also describes examples such as logos, UI designs, posters, and illustrations. Each palette contains two to five colors. Users can randomize a palette, change colors individually, or delete color cells. Finished palettes can be exported in Procreate, Adobe ASE, image, or code formats. PaletteMaker is intended for designers and non-designers, including creative professionals and people who enjoy color. The web app is free, with all current features offered free forever and no stated usage limits. It has no free trial because access is free. PaletteMaker began in 2022 as a pet project by Tanya K, a senior visual designer from Europe who is based in Riga, Latvia. The site offers English, German, French, Portuguese, and Japanese language options, and provides LinkedIn and email contact links for its author.
