ColorBrew is a color studio for design, code and collaboration, available on the web and as a browser extension. Its AI palette tool creates palettes from text descriptions, with choices for mood and palette size. Users can upload an image to extract colors, preview them in design layouts and export palettes as CSS, Tailwind configurations, JSON or design tokens. Other tools cover gradients, color harmonies, contrast checking and saved palettes. The contrast checker calculates color ratios and reports whether combinations meet WCAG AA and AAA standards. Saved palettes can be managed and shared. The Chrome extension offers new-tab palettes, hex copying, design quotes and a color-matching game. Its Chrome Web Store listing says it has no ads or tracking and handles website content. PDF and JPG are also listed as export formats. ColorBrew describes its intended audience as designers, developers and artists. A Figma extension is listed as coming soon, not currently available. The available plan is free.
Who it is for
ColorBrew suits designers, developers and artists who want to create, inspect, save and share color palettes. Its contrast checker and developer export formats may also suit people preparing colors for accessible interfaces or code.
