Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about generating and exporting color palettes

What is a color palette generator?

A color palette generator is a tool that creates sets of harmonious colors for design projects. Chromattic builds five-color palettes using color-theory harmonies (complementary, analogous, triadic, and more), AI mood-based generation, and extraction from images — then exports them as CSS variables, a Tailwind config, or JSON.

How does the AI color palette generator work?

Describe a mood like 'warm sunset' or 'cyberpunk Tokyo' and the AI returns a complete five-color palette. Each color is mapped to a role — primary, secondary, accent, background, and surface — based on role semantics, so the result is immediately usable in a real interface.

Can I extract a color palette from an image?

Yes. Upload any image and Chromattic analyzes its dominant colors on-device, then smart-maps them to palette roles: the most vivid color becomes the accent, the lightest the background, and so on. You can fine-tune every slot afterward.

What formats can I export my palette in?

Every palette exports as CSS variables, a Tailwind config snippet, JSON, or a shareable URL. CSS and Tailwind exports are also available as downloadable files for direct use in your project.

Is Chromattic free to use?

Yes, Chromattic is a free color palette generator that runs entirely in your browser. There's no sign-up, and your palettes are saved locally or shared via URL — nothing is uploaded unless you use the AI or image features.

What makes a good color palette?

A strong palette balances contrast and harmony: an identity color for primary actions, a supporting secondary, a vivid accent for highlights, plus neutral background and surface tones. Chromattic shows live WCAG contrast ratios so you can verify readability as you design.
