Coolors: The Super Fast Color Palette Generator

Fabrizio Bianchi · Coolors Freemium Beginner

Coolors is the fastest way to lock a brand palette and walk away with the exact hex codes your site, deck, and designer all need. Hit spacebar to generate, lock the colors you like, and grab hex, RGB, or export to PDF and CSS to drop straight into a style guide. For a minimum viable brand, two core colors plus a neutral is plenty, and this gets you there in minutes.

  • Generate and lock a palette in seconds, then copy exact hex codes for web, decks, and print.
  • Free for core use, with export to PDF, SVG, and CSS so the palette is shareable, not trapped in your head.
  • Pair it with the minimum viable brand idea: pick two core colors and a neutral, resist a sprawling palette at launch.

  2. How do I make a no-code app feel polished and trustworthy instead of looking like an obvious template?
  3. What are the most common design mistakes that make an early product feel amateur, and how do I avoid them?
