Paletton – Colour Scheme Designer
Generate your individual colour schemes from scratch, all 100% Free!
I have been using Paletton (Colour Scheme Designer) since 2004.
This colour scheme designer is easy to use and gives you the Colour Codes for all the colours it produces.
It is a powerful tool to create colour combinations and palettes of colours that work together well.
Smart people know it’s a waste of time to reinvent the wheel.
Paletton is a free online resource for generating Colour Schemes.
It is a useful tool when needing to find matching or contrasting colours with your base colour.
You don’t need to download anything!
Just go to https://paletton.com and use the 100% free tool.
