"Like this" mode
Pick an inspiration palette. Generate new palettes with the same feel but different colors.
Same feel. Fresh hues.
Pick an inspiration
Browse the library. Find a palette from Rams, Albers, Vignelli, Carson — whoever resonates. Select it.
Analyze the feel
Paletter reads the saturation and lightness distributions for each role. The contrast relationships. The warmth. The energy.
Generate new colors
New palettes are generated within those S/L ranges, with a jitter factor of plus or minus 12. Same feel, different hues. Every time.
Love the feel, own the colors
You found a palette you love but you cannot use it directly. Maybe it is from a competitor. Maybe it is from a book you admire. Maybe it just feels right but the specific hues clash with your brand.
"Like this" gives you the same warmth, the same contrast relationships, the same energy — with your own colors. No copying. No licensing issues. No awkward conversations about why your site looks exactly like someone else's.
The output is yours. The inspiration is acknowledged. The feel is preserved.
