Frequently asked questions
How do I generate a color palette from a description?
Type what you are designing, for example "Coffee shop, cozy and warm", and press the send button. You get three palettes that match your words, each with an explanation.
What can I describe?
Places, moods, seasons, foods, eras, industries and styles all work, for example "Scandinavian minimalist interior" or "Y2K bubblegum". If the words are not recognized you see generic palettes grown from your text, with a note to try a place, mood, season, food or style.
Is this an AI color palette generator?
It can be. The instant suggestions come from a built-in engine that maps words to colors, with no AI involved. When AI suggestions are available, GetColors also asks an AI model and shows its palette first, labeled AI.
Do I need an account?
No. The instant suggestions are free and need no sign-up.
Are the palettes accessible?
