What is Khroma?
Khroma is a color palette generator built for designers that uses AI to produce endless color combinations tailored to individual taste. It trains a neural network on a set of colors you choose at the start. From there, it generates palettes continuously, filtered to match what you like and exclude what you don’t. The color palette generator runs entirely in the browser. Results display across four formats: typography, gradient, palette, and custom image. You can search generated colors by hue, tint, value, color name, hex code, or RGB value. Every combination comes with color names, hex codes, RGB values, CSS code, and a WCAG accessibility rating. Favorites save to an unlimited personal collection for later reference.
Features & Benefits
- Personalized Color Algorithm: Train a neural network using a set of colors you select to generate palettes that match your taste and filter out ones you don’t like.
- Infinite Color Combination Generation: Generate a limitless number of color pairings drawn from thousands of popular human-made palettes as a color palette generator foundation.
- Multiple Display Formats: View any color combination as typography, gradient, palette, or custom image to see how pairs perform in context.
- Color Search and Filtering: Search and filter generated results by hue (red, blue, warm, cool, and more), type (pastel, muted, neon, and more), color name, hex code, or RGB value; combine hue and type queries for precise results.
- Saved Collections: Build an unlimited library of favorite color combos for ongoing reference.
- Color Data Output: Access color names, hex codes, RGB values, and CSS code for any selected pair.
- WCAG Accessibility Rating: Get a contrast ratio rating for each color pair to check accessibility compliance.
- Chromatic Gradient Mode: Enable a setting that reduces muddiness in generated gradients.
- WCAG Enforcement Setting: Block any typography combinations that fail the WCAG contrast ratio threshold.
- Data Portability: Download your personal generator data and upload it on another device or browser to carry your trained algorithm with you.
Real-World Applications
A brand designer working on a new visual identity can use Khroma’s color palette generator to move past generic swatches quickly. Training the algorithm on a client’s existing brand colors produces combinations that stay within the right tone. The typography and gradient view modes let you test pairings in realistic contexts before committing to them.
Web and UI designers handling accessibility requirements get direct value from the WCAG contrast rating on every color pair. Running palette options through the color palette generator surfaces combinations that pass accessibility thresholds without manually checking each one. Enabling the WCAG enforcement setting removes failing pairs from results entirely.
Illustrators and visual artists exploring color moods can use search terms like “muted yellow” or “neon violet” to filter the generator toward a specific feeling. The custom image display mode lets you map a generated pair onto your own reference image. Saving favorites to the collection keeps promising options available throughout a project.
Freelancers juggling multiple clients can download their Khroma data and reload it on any browser. This means the color palette generator stays consistent across devices without re-training from scratch each time.
