What Coolors is
A colour palette generator: press the space bar for a new five-colour palette, lock the ones you like, export the hex codes.
- Fast: a new palette every keypress
- Exports to every format a designer needs
- Image-to-palette, contrast checking and colour-blindness preview
- A big trending-palettes feed
Where it stops
Coolors generates palettes with no style attached. It can hand you five colours that go together, but not why they belong to Bauhaus rather than Memphis, or what typeface, material and period go with them. The palette arrives alone.
What Omoro is
Omoro is a visual research system: 224 named design styles, each taken apart into its palette, typefaces, materials, history and where it shows up in real work. The library is open to everyone without an account; the Studio, where your own references become one directable style, opens to the waitlist.
