Tap a color to copy its hex code. The pencil icon opens the palette in the editor so you can change it.

Choose a primary color with intent

Blue signals trust, green growth and health, and gray neutrality. Choose based on your industry and what you want clients to think.

Give each color a job

Assign one color to the background, one to text, one to buttons and one to alerts. Documenting this keeps everyone on the team from using different colors.

Check that it works everywhere

Test the palette on the web, in print, in presentations and in black and white. If the logo or charts don't read in grayscale, adjust the contrast.
