Color Tools handles every color task a designer or developer runs into — format conversions, palette generation, accessibility checking, and creative naming. Pass a hex code and get back HSL, RGB, CMYK, and a creative name drawn from a database of nearly 32,000 curated color names.
It combines deterministic color theory (monochrome, analogic, complement, triad, quad palettes) with AI-generated palettes that can lock specific colors in place. The contrast checker runs WCAG AA and AAA compliance tests instantly, so you can verify accessibility without leaving your workflow.
What you can do
- color_info — convert any color between hex, RGB, HSL, HSV, and CMYK; get the closest named color and a creative name
- generate_palette — build a color scheme from a hex using established color theory modes
- ai_palette — generate a palette using machine learning, with the ability to lock specific colors
- check_contrast — test any foreground/background pair against WCAG AA and AAA standards
- name_colors — get creative names for up to 10 hex colors at once from a 31,887-name database
Who it's for
Designers building brand palettes, developers implementing design systems, UX teams running accessibility audits, and anyone who needs to communicate colors precisely across tools and formats.
How to use it
- Start with color_info to convert a color and find its name
- Use generate_palette or ai_palette to build a full color scheme from your brand color
- Run check_contrast on any text/background pair to verify WCAG compliance before shipping
- Use name_colors when you need human-readable names for a set of hex values
