Inspiration library
Palettes from the people who defined modern design. Browse. Remix. Generate.
42+ palettes from the design canon
Palettes derived from works by Dieter Rams, Josef Albers, Josef Muller-Brockmann, Wassily Kandinsky, Kenya Hara, Massimo Vignelli, David Carson, and Jan Tschichold. Not Pinterest boards. Not AI-generated mood boards. The actual design canon.
Every palette in the library comes from a real published work. A real cover. A real poster. A real design system that shaped the profession. These are the colors that worked.
Every palette is interactive
5 semantic roles
Background, Ink, Accent, Support, Neutral. Every palette is a system, not a strip of swatches.
Hex values + contrast
WCAG AA and AAA contrast ratios for every meaningful pair. Copy any value with one click.
Export anywhere
CSS custom properties, Tailwind v4 @theme, or a full COLORS.md for your AI coding tools.
"Like this" mode
Found a palette you love. Hit "Like this" and generate new palettes with the same feel. Infinite variations.
Deliberate choices. Every color.
Every palette in the library was extracted from real published work, then curated down to 5 roles with deliberate choices. Background, Ink, Accent, Support, Neutral -- each assigned by the design language of the source.
No algorithmic bulk generation. No "trending palettes" scraped from Dribbble. A human looked at every one of these and made decisions about role assignment. That is the difference between a palette and a design system.
13 brands. Thousands of colors.
13 paint brands, thousands of colors. Farrow & Ball, Benjamin Moore, Little Greene, Portola Paints, Sherwin-Williams, Dulux, and more. Each color mapped to the closest Paletter role. Each brand with generated design system palettes ready to export.
Whether you are designing for screen or for walls, the same 5-role system applies. Background, Ink, Accent, Support, Neutral. One language across every medium.
