What this category covers
Color tools for design and web work: palette and harmony generators (complementary, analogous, triadic), CSS gradient generation, contrast checking for accessibility, shade/tint generation, color blindness simulation, and conversion between color formats.
How to choose the right tool
Building a palette from a single brand color starts with Complementary Color Generator, Analogous Color Generator or Triadic Color Generator, depending on the color harmony you want; Color Palette Generator builds a broader set at once. For a single color across values, Color Shades & Tints Generator produces lighter and darker variations. Web accessibility work needs Color Contrast Checker to confirm text meets WCAG contrast ratios, and Color Blindness Simulator to preview a design as color-blind users would see it. Converting between formats — hex, RGB, HSL, CMYK for print — uses CMYK Color Converter and the format fields built into the other color tools. Color Name Finder identifies the closest named color to a given hex value.
Common use cases
A designer builds a five-color palette from a brand's primary color using the Analogous Color Generator; a frontend developer checks text-on-background contrast before shipping a dark mode; a print shop converts a web-safe hex color to CMYK before sending a file to press; an accessibility auditor simulates color blindness to catch a chart that relies only on color to convey meaning.
