Five colors. Five roles. One source of truth. Ship it.
You need a palette. Everything else builds on top.
Components reference colors. Tokens encode colors. Figma libraries consume colors. If the colors aren't right — if they don't have clear roles, validated contrast, and consistent naming — everything downstream inherits that chaos.
Start here. Get the palette right. Then build upward.
From an image, color theory, or inspiration. Upload a book cover, pick a harmony mode, or clone the feel of a palette you like. Five colors, five roles.
Contrast ratios for every pair. Color blindness simulation. Role clarity checks. If ink-on-background doesn't pass WCAG AA, it gets fixed before you see it.
CSS vars, Tailwind config, SCSS, tokens JSON, ASE, COLORS.md. One palette, every format. One click per export.
Drop tokens into your project. One file per format. Your components reference roles, not hex codes. Done.
Role-mapped variables like --color-bg, --color-ink, --color-accent. Drop into any project.
Native Tailwind v4 theme block. bg-background, text-ink, border-neutral. Zero config.
$color-accent, $color-support. For teams that still ship Sass. No judgment.
Style Dictionary compatible. Feeds into any token pipeline — Figma Tokens, Theo, whatever you use.
Import directly into Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign. Same colors, same names.
Structured markdown that AI coding tools understand. Paste into Claude, Cursor, Copilot. They get it.
Same roles, new values. Your components don't care — they reference tokens, not hex codes.
--color-accent was #E8453C. Now it's #2D5BE3. Every button, every link, every focus ring updates. No find-and-replace. No "did we miss one on the checkout page."
That's the point of a design system. Paletter gives you the foundation to make it work.
One palette. Every export format. Production-ready in minutes.
