Detailed instructions

1. Select your desired hue family from the dropdown — options include blue, green, red, purple, and others.
2. Set the Colors count to match how many distinct swatches your project needs, between 2 and 10.
3. Click Generate to produce a fresh palette locked to your chosen hue family.
4. Regenerate as many times as needed until the tonal spread and saturation feel right for your use case.
5. Copy individual hex codes from the grid and paste them into your design tool, stylesheet, or color token file.

Use Cases

• •Generating 5 blue token stops — from background tint to active state — for a Figma component library
• •Coloring 7 data series in a Recharts or D3 line chart without clashing hues
• •Building hover, focus, and disabled button states that stay within a brand's green family
• •Creating gradient stops for a single-hue hero section in a Webflow or Framer landing page
• •Mapping category swatches in a Notion or Airtable dashboard that prints cleanly in grayscale

Tips

• →Generate at count 7 first, then remove the swatches that feel redundant — easier than adding more later.
• →For dark-mode UI, regenerate until your darkest swatch is deep enough to use as a background at WCAG AA.
• →Warm hues like red and orange produce palettes that look noticeably different each run — regenerate more freely with those.
• →Pair a hue-locked palette with one neutral gray set to ground the design without introducing competing hues.
• →For data charts, avoid counts above 7 within one hue family — beyond that, adjacent colors become too similar to distinguish reliably.
• →Copy your favorite run's hex values immediately — there's no history, and a good set is easy to lose.
