FAQ
Is Palette Generator really free?
Yes — free with no signup, no credits and no limits on this tool. It is supported by clearly labeled ads placed away from the buttons, never by paywalls.
Is anything I type into Palette Generator sent to a server?
No. Every keystroke is computed with a pure JavaScript engine (Web Worker for heavy inputs) inside this page. Close the tab and your data is gone — unless you explicitly download or share it.
What should I enter in "Seed"?
Put your seed here — for example: #2563eb. Leave the defaults first to see how it works, then adjust. Every field is validated with a plain-language message if something is off.
I normally use Coolors — why switch?
If you are tired of pretty pickers that stop before the real work: contrast checks, tokens and export, DesignMatrix is the alternative: a full pipeline: convert, contrast-check, harmonize, then export CSS and Tailwind locally.
How accurate is Palette Generator?
Everything runs on your device, so results are instant and repeatable — same inputs, same outputs, no server involved.
