How to use Coolors to find a color palette
To begin, visit the Coolors website. You can explore existing palettes, generate one using their algorithms, or make one from scratch.
Here’s how to generate a palette:
- On the Coolors homepage, hit the Start the generator! button.
- Use the spacebar to generate a completely random palette.
- Select the colors you like by clicking on them.
- Continue until all the spaces are filled.
To begin with sliders or a hex code, you must click on the color’s moniker at the bottom of its tile. You can add or remove colors from the collection using the plus + icon between cells or the X icon visible while hovering over any existing shade.

It can also be helpful to load a photo, which allows the site to grab prominent tones from the image. Any palette can then be further adjusted for brightness or saturation. Once you’re done, all that’s left to do is export it using the option in the toolbar.
To be fair, glancing at Coolor’s premade palettes can be an adventure. But it is the perfect place to get inspired for your next project or even relax with some visual ASMR.
