Colors for creative work

It is easy to repeat the same palette. The wheel returns a named color with its hex code, such as crimson red, coral orange or emerald green, to push designers, illustrators and crafters out of their habits.

Use the result as an accent in a design, a starting point for a painting, or a theme for a handmade gift. Spin two or three times to build a palette.

Working with the result

Check contrast if you plan to use text on the color. Add your brand colors, or colors from a photo that inspired you. Each hex code can be pasted straight into design tools and websites.
