Generate accessible color palettes, preview them on real UI layouts, check WCAG contrast, and export to CSS, Tailwind, or design tokens.
Build, preview, and launch your product with palettes that actually look like a brand.
WCAG ratios: 7+ AAA, 4.5+ AA (body text), 3+ AA Large (18px+ bold or 24px+). Aim for AA on body text.
Most color tools give you swatches and leave the hard work to you. PalettePreview assigns each color to a clear role — primary, secondary, accent, background, surface, text — and previews the result on real SaaS landing page, pricing, dashboard, mobile, ecommerce, blog, and portfolio templates. You can see exactly how your palette behaves on a CTA button, a sidebar, or a hero before committing.
Build a complete brand color palette for logos, websites, social media, and brand kits. Pick a mood — modern, luxury, pastel, bold, earthy, retro, minimal, wellness, playful, dark, clean, or elegant — and PalettePreview crafts a coordinated set of colors that hold together across every surface your brand shows up on. Export a brand sheet PNG to share with your team.
An accessible palette is the difference between a product everyone can use and one that quietly turns people away. PalettePreview scores every important color pair against WCAG: text on background, muted text on surface, white and black on primary and accent, and more. The Improve Palette button automatically lifts failing pairs to AA or AAA without breaking your brand.
Drop in a photo, illustration, or screenshot and PalettePreview extracts five to eight strong colors entirely in your browser — no upload, no API. Apply the extracted colors as a balanced website palette in one click, or copy individual HEX values. Perfect for translating a photograph, moodboard, or product shot into a usable brand system.
Copy CSS variables, SCSS variables, a Tailwind colors config, a shadcn/ui theme snippet, raw JSON, or a full design tokens JSON with HEX, RGB, HSL, and usage notes per role. Download a PNG palette card, a PNG brand sheet, or an SVG palette strip for presentations and handoff.
PalettePreview tunes generation based on what you're building. Each use case biases the mood and contrast in the right direction:
Everything about generating, previewing, and exporting color palettes.
Aim for a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 between body text and its background (WCAG AA). PalettePreview's contrast matrix scores every important pair — text on background, text on surface, button labels on primary, and more — so you can spot weak combinations at a glance. The Improve Palette button automatically nudges colors that fail.
SaaS websites tend to use one confident brand color for CTAs, a calmer secondary, a single highlight accent for badges and status, and clean neutral surfaces for content. Pick the SaaS Website use case in PalettePreview and it biases toward modern, clean, and minimal moods that match this pattern.
Yes. Drop in a photo, screenshot, or moodboard and PalettePreview extracts five to eight strong colors directly in your browser — no upload, no API. Click Apply as Website Palette to turn the extracted swatches into a balanced role-based palette ready for design or development.
Background is the main page color. Surface sits on top — cards, panels, modals. Primary drives CTAs and links. Accent is used sparingly for highlights, badges, and icons. Separating these roles is what turns a list of swatches into a real design system.
Yes — copy a ready-to-paste Tailwind colors block, a shadcn/ui theme snippet, CSS variables, SCSS variables, JSON, or a full design tokens JSON with HEX, RGB, HSL, and usage notes per role.
Absolutely. PalettePreview is free and runs entirely in your browser. Save palettes locally, download a brand sheet PNG or SVG strip for presentations, and ship the developer exports straight into the build.
A color palette generator helps you pick a coordinated set of colors for a website, brand, app, or UI design. PalettePreview generates role-based palettes (primary, secondary, accent, background, surface, text) so the colors fit a real design system instead of being a random list of swatches.
Yes. Saved palettes and a 30-step history live in your browser via localStorage. Undo, redo, restore from history, or load a saved palette with one click.
