Paletton
A designer tool for creating color combinations that work together well.
Paletton is a browser-based color scheme designer built on the classical RYB color wheel. It helps users assemble palettes of one to four hues, each with five shades, and preview how those colors work together in web design, UI design, textiles, and other visual projects.
The tool offers color models ranging from monochromatic to triad and tetrad sets, with optional complements and a free-style mode. Brightness and saturation controls, predefined presets, and random palette generation are available alongside preview styles including tartan fabric. A vision simulation filter emulates color blindness variants, gamma and desaturation effects, grayscale, and the legacy 216-color web palette. Contrast between palette color pairs can be checked against WCAG requirements, and palettes export to HTML, CSS, LESS, XML, text, PNG, Photoshop ACO, and Gimp GPL formats. Color values are available in RGB, hex, hue, luminosity, WCAG relative luminosity, and LAB.
Paletton is aimed at professional designers, students, and hobbyists working on web, mobile, desktop, interior, fashion, and home improvement projects. The site is supported by advertising and accepts donations; no paid editions, trials, or seat-based plans are described.
