Three people, three different deliverables

You deliver a palette. Client gets a PDF with swatches. Developer gets... nothing useful. Three months later, the website uses colors you've never seen.

The designer thinks in feelings. The client thinks in branding. The developer thinks in hex codes. A swatch PDF serves exactly one of them, poorly.

Good handoff means everyone gets what they need in one export. Not three rounds of "can you also send me the..."

More than swatches

Role names

Not just "blue" and "dark gray." Background, Ink, Accent, Support, Neutral. Names that explain what each color does.

Usage rules

Where each color goes. What it pairs with. What it never touches. Clear enough for a junior dev to follow.

Contrast information

AA and AAA scores for every meaningful pair. No more "is this accessible?" conversations three weeks into development.

Code-ready exports

CSS custom properties, Tailwind config, SCSS variables, design tokens JSON. Not screenshots of swatches.

One export, three audiences

Auto-generated README with palette table, contrast matrix, usage rules, and do/don't examples. The client reads the rules. The designer reads the rationale. The developer copies the code.

Plus CSS vars, Tailwind config, and tokens JSON for the developer. Plus COLORS.md for AI coding tools — structured markdown that Claude, Cursor, and Copilot understand natively.

One click. One export. Three audiences served. No follow-up emails.

Deliver a design system at the price of a palette

Your client expects brand guidelines. You deliver a design system. Same price, ten times the value. That's how you get referrals.

Paletter does the technical part — contrast validation, token generation, usage documentation — so you can focus on the creative decisions that actually require taste.

Stop spending hours building spec sheets in Figma. Generate them. Spend that time on the work that matters.
