pppalette

This friendly color palette generator helps designers and developers create harmonious color schemes for web and graphic projects. The tool provides multiple ways to build palettes: users can start from a seed color and let the algorithm generate complementary, analogous, triadic, or split-complementary color combinations. The interface displays each palette as a row of color swatches, with clickable hex values for easy copying. Each color shows its hue, saturation, and lightness values, allowing precise adjustments. The tool includes a contrast checker that calculates WCAG compliance levels for text-background pairs, showing whether the combination passes AA or AAA accessibility standards. Users can lock specific colors they want to keep and regenerate the rest of the palette, making it easy to iterate on a partially satisfactory scheme. The palette can be exported in multiple formats including CSS variables, SCSS variables, Tailwind config, and plain hex lists. The tool is part of a collection of free design resources that also includes gradient generators, SVG shape tools, and CSS filter builders. The entire suite is built with vanilla JavaScript and works without external dependencies, ensuring fast load times and offline capability when cached. The generator has a clean, minimal interface with a dark mode option, reducing eye strain during long design sessions. The tool does not require account creation, and all palette data stays in the browser URL, making it easy to share palettes by sending a link.
