Palette Workflow
Generate a color palette from one color
Use one trusted color as the starting point, then build a balanced palette for UI design, branding, illustrations, and web projects.
A practical four-step palette method
1
Use your base color
Start with the main brand, product, or image color you already trust. This becomes the anchor for every other choice.
2
Create light and dark support colors
Build lighter tints for backgrounds and darker shades for headings, borders, and high-contrast states.
3
Add one accent color
Choose an accent that contrasts clearly with the base color. Use it for calls to action, highlights, and important states.
4
Check contrast in real UI
Test text, buttons, links, and cards with the palette. A palette is only useful if it remains readable in context.
