Color Palette Tester
Color Palette Tester
A simple, easy online tool that helps you check your brand colors for usability, contrast, and harmony in 60 seconds.
Your color palette should be functional.
Your color palette is more than just a collection of pretty colors.
Your color palette should be: beautiful, functional, and accessible.
Why color contrast matters ↓
The higher the contrast score between 2 colors, the more 'readable' your text will be. As long as the contrast score is above a 4.5, then it is considered ‘High Contrast’ and compliant with WCAG AA Guidelines.
This tool helps you find the contrast score of ALL the colors in your palette, in seconds.
The Difference a Color Palette Can Make
Play with the slider below to see:
BEFORE: a color palette with pretty colors, but low contrast & usability on a website.
AFTER: a gorgeous color palette that we tested with the Color Palette Tester™ to ensure contrast & usability
The Color Palette Tester is the ultimate tool for testing your color palettes ◡̈
here's how it works:
step 1: build your color palette
Import your existing brand colors OR use our AI Color Palette Generator™ to create a brand new palette. Add your own fun color names OR use the AI feature to create some custom on-brand names.
step 2: preview your brand colors together
You'll instantly see all of your brand colors together to have a visual preview of each text color & background color. Even better, you'll see the official contrast score for each pairing (remember: pairings of 4.5 and above are ADA compliant!).
step 3: select your favorite color combos
To view all of the ADA Complaint pairings, click 'Show Complaint Pairings' and view all of the color combos with a contrast score of 4.5 and above. Then, select your favorite pairings by checking the box.
step 4: preview & export your full palette ☺
Click 'Show Palette' and get an instant preview of your full color palette AND your selected color pairings.
Save as a PDF or send to your team to make sure everyone is *on brand* all the time. ☺

I use it all the time and am very very grateful to you for gifting it to me! It means a lot to me & this was very much a dream come true, since I've loved your work from the very beginning, since you started Color Palette Studio. I love that I can modify it as per the low contrast score and I can save my palettes as well! Oh, such versatile tool, thank you for making it.

I’m creating my own website and was kind of lost in all the options and possibilities untill I found The Color Palette Studio. It’s not just the tools but also the awesome guided information and videos that provided so much value in my process. I also bought the Brand Guideline Builder and it’s really helping to create a solid brand foundation for my website. I already see myself using these tools for many more projects in my creative business.
