A Designer's Guide to Our Professional Color Tools
Color is the cornerstone of great design. This suite of tools is built to streamline your workflow, whether you're identifying a specific color, building a beautiful palette, or crafting a stunning gradient.
1. Color Picker: Identify, Convert, and Explore
The Color Picker is your go-to tool for working with individual colors. It's perfect for finding a color's specific code or exploring monochromatic variations.
- Select a Color: Use the interactive visual picker to explore the color spectrum or type any known color value (like `red` or `#2A5C82`) into the input field.
- Get All Formats: The tool instantly provides the color's value in the three most common web formats: HEX, RGB, and HSL. This is ideal for quick conversions and use in your CSS or design software.
- Discover Tints & Shades: Automatically generate a full spectrum of the selected color's tints (the color mixed with white) and shades (the color mixed with black). This is the fastest way to build out a clean, monochromatic color scheme.
2. Palette Generator: Create Perfect Color Harmonies
Building a professional color scheme from scratch can be challenging. The Palette Generator uses established color theory to help you create beautiful, balanced palettes with ease.
- Choose a Base Color: Start by selecting the primary color for your project.
- Select a Harmony Rule: Pick a rule from the dropdown to define the relationship between your colors. Options like Analogous create serene palettes with neighboring colors, while Triad or Split Complement produce more vibrant, high-contrast schemes.
- Generate & Use: Click "Generate" to see your new palette. Hover over any color to see its HEX code, and simply click on it to copy the value to your clipboard, ready to be used in your project.
3. Gradient Generator: Craft Stunning CSS Gradients
The Gradient Generator is a visual tool for creating beautiful, smooth color transitions for website backgrounds and UI elements without writing complex CSS by hand.
- Pick Your Colors: Select at least two "stop" colors for your gradient using the integrated color pickers. You can add or remove colors to create more complex transitions.
- Set the Direction: Use the angle control or directional buttons to change the flow of the gradient (e.g., from left to right, top to bottom, or diagonally).
- Copy the Code: The tool generates the cross-browser compatible CSS code for your gradient in real-time. Just click the copy button and paste the `background-image` property directly into your stylesheet.
