About This Tool

The Color Brewer Tool generates color palettes by user-defined counts and constraints, supporting color spaces such as RGB, HSL, and LAB, and scheme types including categorical, sequential, and diverging. It outputs ordered HEX color lists suitable for UI components, charts, branding, and data visualizations, with deterministic results to enable reproducibility across projects.
Conceptually, it maps inputs to a harmony strategy and computes a sequence of colors that satisfy the specified ranges for hue, saturation, and lightness. The generator builds a circular, angle-based partition of color space into evenly spaced slots, assigns colors according to the chosen scheme, and preserves perceptual balance by preferring evenly distributed luminance. The tool also provides optional accessibility signals and suggested substitutions to meet contrast targets.
Beneficiaries include UI designers, front-end developers, product managers, and data visualization engineers who need consistent palettes quickly. Unique value comes from constraint-driven generation, support for multiple color models, and easy export of ready-to-use HEX values. It reduces trial-and-error, supports branding consistency, and facilitates rapid iteration on color choices for dashboards and interfaces.
Core features and use cases: input controls for color_count, model, scheme, and ranges; output as ordered HEX values; optional contrast checks; export options in HEX, JSON, or CSV; and reproducible palettes for A/B testing and documentation.

How to Use

  1. Provide inputs: specify color_count, color_model, scheme_type, hue_range, saturation_range, and lightness_range.
  2. Choose method: select categorical, sequential, or diverging scheme and set any exclusions.
  3. Run generation: execute to produce a palette list with HEX codes.
  4. Review outputs: inspect order, hue progression, and contrast; adjust ranges if needed.
  5. Export: copy hex values or download as JSON/CSV for integration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find Quick Answers

What color models are supported?
The tool supports RGB, HSL, and LAB color spaces. Internally, it converts inputs to a common representation to ensure consistent spacing and interpolation; hex outputs are provided for immediate use in UI or charts.
How is accessibility handled?
Palettes can be evaluated against WCAG contrast targets. The generator can flag low-contrast pairs and offer adjustments such as increasing lightness or switching to a higher-contrast color in the sequence.
Can I save or reuse palettes?
Palettes can be copied to the clipboard; persistence is typically client-side. For long-term projects, export JSON or CSV and recreate palettes later using the same inputs.
What export formats are available?
HEX lists are available, and palettes can be exported as JSON or CSV; these formats support programmatic reuse in design systems, charts, dashboards, and style guides.
