    WOW!! Buy it Now

    How did I live without this tool? It literally took me 30 minutes to do what had been taking a week of testing and fretting. I can do everything that is presented in this tool - HOWEVER, after all of the time spent building palettes, testing contrast and style guides I had invested weeks of time and effort.

    Sam has devoted an enormous amount of her love and time into some of the most useful tools a graphic designer can have in their arsenal.

    Do not hesitate. Buy the bundle of Color Palette Builder and Brand Guideline Builder. This will speed up your effective production time and still give you so much flexibility in design control.

    Amazing tool

    I love that this tool allows me to quickly see all complaint colour pairings to ensure palettes I am building are accessible and meet industry guidelines. There is a great range of themes/design styles options but would love to see more.

Hey, I'm Sam.

This is gonna sound crazy, but the idea for the Color Palette Builder came to me one night as I was trying to fall asleep. I leaped out of bed and grabbed a pen to sketch out the idea for this tool. It just felt... special.
Creating color palettes comes easy to me- so I'm thrilled to share a tool that helps make them easy for YOU, too.
Your color palette is more than a collection of pretty colors. It's a representation of your values, ideals, and ~vibe~.
Creating color palettes should be FUN.
That's why I built this tool. I wanted to share the magic of color palettes with designers & brands all around the world, but in a way that felt creative & easy.
