Generate WCAG-aware palettes and preview real UI states instantly.
Test buttons, cards, forms, alerts, links, charts, focus states, and dark mode.
Need a full design system? Try the new Accessible Palette Studio — OKLCH 11-stop scales, APCA grading, color-blindness simulation, and Tailwind/Figma/iOS/Android exports.
Preview generated colors against WCAG 2.2 contrast thresholds for text, UI components, focus indicators, and common interface states.
Generate complete color palettes with primary, secondary, accent, and neutral colors. Use the live preview to decide which colors should become design tokens.
Export your palettes in CSS, SCSS, Figma, Adobe Swatches, and more. Seamlessly integrate with your existing design and development workflow.
A useful accessible color palette is more than a row of attractive swatches. Product teams need to know how colors behave in buttons, cards, form fields, links, alerts, charts, disabled controls, hover styles, focus rings, and dark mode. This generator turns color harmony into a practical UI preview so designers and developers can choose safer color pairings before shipping.
Explore accessible color combinations for brand palettes, product themes, dashboard UI, and component libraries without guessing how states will look.
Export CSS, SCSS, or JSON values and map them into tokens like background, foreground, primary, border, focus, success, warning, and destructive.
Catch risky combinations early, then verify production-critical pairings with the contrast checker and manual testing across real content.
Short answers for teams using WCAG color palettes in websites, apps, and design systems.
An accessible color palette includes foreground and background combinations that meet WCAG contrast requirements, supports visible focus indicators, avoids color-only meaning, and works across light mode, dark mode, hover states, disabled states, and error states.
WCAG 2.2 Level AA requires a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text. Level AAA requires 7:1 for normal text and 4.5:1 for large text. UI components and graphical objects should have at least 3:1 contrast against adjacent colors.
A swatch can look good in isolation but fail when used as button text, card borders, form focus rings, alerts, links, or chart colors. Live previews reveal whether the palette works in real interface states before it becomes part of a design system.
A palette itself is not automatically compliant. Compliance depends on specific color pairings, text size, component state, and context. The safest workflow is to generate colors, preview real UI pairings, then verify important combinations with a contrast checker.
Yes. Dark mode often needs different surface, border, text, focus, and accent choices because colors that pass in light mode can become muddy or too low contrast on dark surfaces.
