Show HN: Built a simple colour palette generator – would love feedback

https://colorpal-sage.vercel.app/
1•mazahermuraj•5h ago
Hey everyone

A bit of background:

A colleague of mine (UI/UX) said that she uses ChatGPT to help her generate a colour palette of tints and shades based on a base hex colour.

She then copied the suggestions given by ChatGPT into Figma and created a colour palette that suited the design she was working on.

But she had a few issues:

ChatGPT was inconsistent or did not produce what she wanted ChatGPT didn't always show her the colour of the hex, so she used it in combination with a tool like Cooler ChatGPT took away from her the eye for design when looking through the colours. She wanted to make the choice, not let AI do it for her. So I built a small tool that tries to simplify that process:

• Input a base colour (or generate one randomly)

• Auto-generate tints (5% steps) and shades (10% steps). But you can adjust this

• Two modes: generate a palette or create a custom one

• Copy the output and paste it into Figma or whatever design tool you want to use

There’s absolutely no promotion or paid plans at the moment. Just a free tool you can use without signing up. But if you want to save a palette to your library, you can sign up for free too.

I'd love honest feedback on:

- Usefulness of the workflow

- UX/usability thoughts

- Any missing features you’d want

Here's the link for context (no signup): https://colorpal-sage.vercel.app/

Thanks in advance—really appreciate your time & feedback!
