Coolors
Palette generator
Free tier + paidDesign tools, color & typecoolors.co
What it is
Palette generator driven by the spacebar: lock the colours you like, hit space, and it regenerates the rest. Free accounts get up to five colours per palette, ten saved palettes, one project, a library of ready-made schemes, and colour picking from an uploaded image.
Why it earns a slot
The fastest way out of colour paralysis. Lock your brand hex, mash space until something clicks, then export the result as CSS variables or a config you can paste straight into a project.
Know before you commit
The free tier is ad-heavy and caps palettes at five colours and ten saves; the contrast checker, palette visualiser and advanced exports are Pro-only.
Neighbourhood
How Coolors sits against the rest of the atlas — swaps, companions and the tools builders actually save alongside it.
