Product Introduction

  1. Color Palette Pro is a professional-grade web application designed to generate precise color palettes across 10+ advanced color spaces including OKLCH, LCH, OKLAB, LAB, P3, HSL, RGB, and HEX. It enables users to create, adjust, and visualize color combinations with scientific accuracy through parametric controls for lightness, chroma, and hue.
  2. The core value lies in bridging technical color science with practical design workflows, offering granular control over perceptual uniformity and device compatibility while maintaining intuitive export capabilities for real-world implementation.

Main Features

  1. The tool supports multi-dimensional color space manipulation, allowing simultaneous editing in OKLCH (optimized for perceptual uniformity), LCH (device-independent gradients), and P3 (wide-gamut display compatibility) with real-time conversion to sRGB/HEX for digital use.
  2. Users can generate palettes using 7+ structural modes including Analogous, Square, Split-Complementary, and Triad configurations, with adjustable parameters for chroma intensity (0-0.3+ range) and hue precision (±5° increments) to fine-tune color relationships.
  3. All palettes are exportable as vector SVG files with embedded color profiles, CSS code snippets with fallback values, and 16-bit PNGs, alongside shareable URLs preserving editing history and color space configurations for collaborative workflows.

Problems Solved

  1. Eliminates the manual calculation required when working across mixed color spaces, solving the problem of inconsistent color reproduction between design software (typically RGB/HEX) and production environments (print LAB, wide-gamut P3).
  2. Primarily serves UI/UX designers needing WCAG-compliant accessible palettes, digital artists requiring P3 gamut optimization, and product teams managing brand colors across physical/digital touchpoints.
  3. Typical scenarios include creating print-digital hybrid brand guidelines where LAB colors must align with HEX web values, or adjusting OKLCH palettes to maintain visual consistency across varying screen brightness levels.

Unique Advantages

  1. Unlike basic color pickers limited to RGB/HSL, Color Palette Pro implements the latest CSS Color Level 5 specifications with native OKLCH and LCH support, enabling future-proof palette creation compatible with modern browsers and design systems.
  2. The proprietary "Square Variant" algorithm automatically resolves hue conflicts in complex palettes while maintaining optimal chroma balance, a feature absent in competing tools like Adobe Color or Coolors.
  3. Combines laboratory-grade color math (CIELAB Delta-E calculations for contrast checking) with production-ready exports, offering both 35% SDR and 100% P3 gamut preview modes to simulate output across devices without additional software.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  1. What color spaces does Color Palette Pro support? The tool natively supports OKLCH, LCH, OKLAB, LAB, P3, HSL, RGB, and HEX, with automatic conversion between spaces while preserving numerical accuracy through 4-decimal-place calculations.
  2. Can multiple team members collaborate on palette creation? Yes, shared palette URLs maintain full editability including color space selections and parameter history, compatible with Figma and Adobe XD via generated JSON metadata.
  3. How are exported files optimized for different use cases? Vector SVG outputs include ICC profiles for print, CSS exports provide dual HEX/OKLCH declarations with @media queries for dark mode, and PNGs offer optional dithering for 8-bit displays.
