Color Palette Generator AI creates complete 13-color brand systems from text prompts and can extract dominant colors from images. Its image tool accepts photos, logos, screenshots, and product images, using k-means clustering to identify colors. Users can lock selected colors or edit their hex values, then regenerate the rest of the palette around them. The tool checks text and background pairings against WCAG 2.1 AA and automatically corrects combinations that fail. Exports include CSS custom properties, Tailwind configuration, W3C design tokens JSON, and shadcn/ui themes. It also provides ready-made configurations for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and generic coding agents. Saved palettes get permanent links with preview images and can be remixed later. The free API supports palette generation, image extraction, and programmatic palette retrieval. The free plan is free and includes unlimited generations, every export format, shareable links, and API access without requiring an account. Uploaded images are processed for extraction and not kept; only palettes explicitly saved are stored.
Who it is for
It suits designers, developers, and teams who need to create or adjust brand palettes and export them for design or coding workflows. The free API also makes it an option for users retrieving palettes programmatically.
