Question 1

What is a color palette generator?

Accepted Answer

A color palette generator is a tool that automatically creates harmonious color schemes for your design projects. It uses color theory principles and algorithms to generate combinations of colors that work well together. ColorKit's generators can create palettes instantly, extract colors from images, or generate style-specific schemes like pastel, vintage, or minimalist palettes.

Question 2

How do I extract colors from an image?

Accepted Answer

To extract colors from an image, use our Color Palette from Image tool. Simply upload any image (photo, artwork, or graphic), and our advanced algorithm will analyze it to identify the most dominant and visually appealing colors. You'll get a complete color palette with hex codes that you can use in your designs. It's perfect for finding inspiration from existing designs or matching colors from reference images.

Question 3

Are ColorKit tools really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes! All ColorKit tools are 100% free with absolutely no hidden costs. You don't need to sign up, create an account, or provide any payment information. There are no watermarks on exported palettes, no usage limits, and no premium tiers. We believe great design tools should be accessible to everyone, whether you're a professional designer or just getting started.

Question 4

What color formats can I export?

Accepted Answer

You can copy colors in multiple formats from any ColorKit palette, including HEX codes (e.g., #FF5733), RGB values (e.g., rgb(255, 87, 51)), and CSS code for direct use in your projects. Simply click on any color in your generated palette to copy its code instantly. This makes it easy to use your palettes in web design, graphic design software, or any other application.

Question 5

How does the quick color generator work?

Our quick color palette generator uses advanced algorithms based on color theory principles. It considers color harmony rules like complementary, analogous, and triadic relationships to create balanced palettes. The generator analyzes hue, saturation, and brightness values to ensure each color works well with the others. You get professional-quality results instantly with just one click.

Question 6

Can I use these colors for commercial projects?

Question 7

What's the difference between the various generators?

Accepted Answer

ColorKit offers different generators for different needs. The Quick Generator creates random harmonious palettes instantly. Style-based generators (like Minimalist, Pastel, Vintage) create palettes optimized for specific design aesthetics.
