Why PaletteCrab?
PaletteCrab is a free AI-powered color palette generator built for designers, developers, and creatives. Generate harmonious palettes using six color theory algorithms, lock individual colors while regenerating others, and describe your vision in natural language — our AI understands full descriptions like "cozy Japanese restaurant" or "futuristic SaaS landing page".
Go beyond palettes with our Design System Generator — create complete design tokens with semantic colors, dark mode, states, and shadows in one click. Auto-fix WCAG contrast issues in OKLCH perceptual space, explore color psychology insights with industry recommendations and font pairings, and preview your palette on realistic templates (SaaS, e-commerce, dashboard, blog, portfolio).
Generate beautiful gradients and mesh gradients, preview color transitions and animations, extract palettes from any URL, and simulate colorblindness. Export to CSS, Tailwind, SCSS, JSON, Figma Design Tokens, OKLCH, or shadcn/ui format.
