What is a color palette?
A color palette is a curated set of colors that work together for branding, UI, marketing, and print. Great palettes balance dominance, contrast, and harmony so designs feel intentional.
EditTools Online extracts palettes from real images, scores them for diversity and harmony, checks readable contrast, and exports formats designers actually use.
Brand
How to choose brand colors
Start from a product photo or mood board, use Brand or Auto mode, then lock a primary, secondary, and accent. Neutrals and status colors (success, warning, error) complete a usable system.
Harmony
Color harmony explained
Complementary pairs sit opposite on the wheel. Analogous neighbors feel calm. Triadic and tetradic schemes add energy. Shades, tints, and tones expand a single hue into a full scale.
Readability
Readable contrast guide
Aim for strong contrast so normal text stays easy to read. Use the built-in checker to validate text on backgrounds before you save a theme.
