Why do you need a colour palette tool in 2025?

Colour affects feelings, recognition, and conversion, but it's hard to choose schemes that go together:

❌ Different colours for the same brand hurt professionalism.
Bad contrast makes things harder to read and access.
Making a palette by hand takes a long time and isn't always the same.
Colours that are in style change quickly, so it's important to keep up to date.

The colour palette tool fixes this by

Using colour theory that has been shown to work (complementary, monochromatic, and split-complementary)
Making sure that the contrast meets WCAG standards for accessibility
You can get brand colours from logos or competitors.
Saving hours on design changes
Great for web designers, UX/UI teams, marketers, artists, and those who operate small businesses.
