Palette tips

  • Feed colours: pick colours from your best photo and keep text and backgrounds in that range, so the grid looks planned.
  • Readable text: use the darkest colour for text on the lightest one, and keep the bright accent for one element.
  • Palette posts: a palette card from a photo is a post in itself for design and aesthetic accounts.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about the colour palette generator tool.

Is the photo uploaded?

No. The colours are read in your browser.

How are the colours picked?

Similar pixels are grouped, the biggest groups win, and colours too close to one already chosen are skipped, so you get variety.

What are the harmonies?

Complementary (opposite colours), analogous (neighbours), triadic and split (three colours spaced out), monochrome (one colour in shades) and pastel.
