About the palette generator
The generator produces 5-color palettes that work in real interfaces - not just on a moodboard. Every regenerate keeps any locked colors in place and re-samples the rest in OKLCH so the new palette stays balanced across lightness and chroma. Press space to regenerate; click the lock icon to keep a color you like; tap any swatch to fine-tune in the inline picker.
Under the hood, the generator combines a harmony engine (complementary, analogous, triadic, tetradic, split-complementary, square, monochromatic) with a perceptual scoring pass that rejects palettes with two near-identical colors or with no usable text-on-surface pair. That is why the output reliably contains a dark anchor for body copy, a light anchor for surfaces, a mid-tone for borders and one or two accents - the structure of a real design system, not a random rainbow.
Once you like a palette, hit Export to copy it as CSS variables, a Tailwind config, a JSON token file, an image, or a shareable URL. From the same screen you can send the palette directly to the contrast checker, gradient maker, visualizer or design-system tool. The URL is the source of truth for sharing - send it in Slack, paste it into a brief, embed it in a brand doc.
