As a designer, finding the right colors that harmonize and enhance your work is a skill worth mastering. Thankfully, we live in an era where an abundance of color tools exist to simplify the creative process and expand our color palettes. In this blog, we will explore a handpicked selection of indispensable color tools that every designer should have in their toolkit. These tools will empower you to create stunning color schemes, experiment with combinations, and achieve palette perfection with ease.

Adobe color

Adobe Color is an amazing website to generate color palettes. Unlike the normal color wheel, it offers color harmony rules to choose from such as analogous, complementary, and other. It also has extract tools, gradients to extract from the images we upload, and accessibility tools to check the contrast between the chosen colors.

coolors

Coolors is another cool website that I started using recently. This website has a wide range of color palettes. What attracted me most about this website is it offered a unique search option. You can directly search for “health”, and” e-commerce” and can get the corresponding palettes suitable.

khroma.co

Khroma.co is an AI-based color palette generator. It asks us to pick at least 50 colors at the start to analyze our taste better and then it generates the palettes. It too offers a wide range of plates in our chosen colors.

Color hunt.co

This is one of the first websites I used. It has a wide range of options and you can maintain a collection of your palettes in the site itself. The search options are based on colors but the options are limitless.

Happy Hues

I recently discovered this website but it's simply amazing. It offers the color palettes left side and by the palette you choose the whole website changes. By this, they are providing us with an option to see how the colors actually work. The whole website is very informative.

That’s it guys. Try these tools as they are super fun and helpful. Embrace these color tools and watch as your designs flourish with vibrant hues and visual brilliance, setting you apart as a designer who understands the power of color.

Thanks for reading😀.
