the color tools I open on every project

Seven bookmarks, no more, no less. Most color tool roundups are forty links long and half of them are dead.

01
Coolors
spacebar to reroll a palette, still the fastest way to get unstuck
02
Adobe Color
03
the contrast numbers I actually trust, still true even with the newer perceptual tools around
04
Realtime Colors
05
Huemint
06
Radix Colors
12-step scales already tuned for contrast, I steal these wholesale for internal tools
07
Leonardo
(still true) the only one here that starts from a contrast ratio instead of a hex code, worth the learning curve
