Coolors is a color palette generator built to speed up the visual design process for designers, developers, and creative teams. Users can generate new palettes instantly by pressing the spacebar, lock colors they like, and fine-tune hues, shades, and gradients until the scheme feels right. Beyond generation, Coolors offers a library of 10M+ ready-made color schemes searchable by style and topic, an image color extractor that pulls palettes directly from uploaded photos, a contrast checker for accessibility compliance, and a palette visualizer that previews color combinations on real design mockups. The platform also includes gradient tools, a detailed color picker with psychology and accessibility data, and an AI-powered "Color Bot" for conversational color suggestions. Coolors integrates with popular design workflows through a Figma plugin, a Chrome extension, Adobe Creative Suite plugins (Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop), Tailwind CSS export support, and an iOS mobile app. The free plan covers basic palette generation and limited saving, while the paid Pro plan unlocks unlimited palettes, projects, and collections, an ad-free experience, advanced export formats, and AI credits for the Color Bot. Coolors is used by individual designers and creative teams at organizations of all sizes, and is cited as being used by companies such as Netflix, Apple, Slack, and Microsoft.
