Best practices

  • Pick two or three core colors and build around them.
  • Test text and background pairs for readability.
  • Use gradients sparingly for accents and backgrounds.
  • Keep opacity high when colors sit over busy images.
  • Save HEX codes you like before generating again.
  • Confirm key pairs meet WCAG contrast standards.

Frequently asked questions

What is a color palette?

A color palette is a set of colors you choose to use together in a design. A balanced palette keeps your brand, website, or artwork looking consistent and easy on the eyes.

How do CSS gradients work?

A gradient blends two or more colors smoothly across a direction you pick. This tool builds a linear gradient from Color A to Color B and gives you the ready-to-paste CSS.

Can I use these colors for accessible design?

Yes. Pick a pair from your palette, then test them in our Color Contrast Checker to confirm they meet WCAG readability standards before you ship.

Is this tool free to use?

Absolutely. The Color Palette Generator is 100% free with no sign-up, downloads, or usage limits.

Is my data saved anywhere?

No. Everything runs in your browser, so your colors and settings stay on your device and never reach our servers.

What does the opacity slider do?

It controls how transparent each gradient color is. Lower the opacity to let backgrounds show through, or keep it at 100% for solid, vivid color.
