Rebranding is replacing one system with another

Rebranding isn't picking new colors from a mood board. It's replacing one system with another. If you don't treat it as a system, every page, component, and template becomes a manual update.

You've seen it happen. The homepage gets the new blue. Product pages still have the old blue. The footer uses a third blue that nobody can explain. Six months later, someone finds a fourth blue in the email templates.

Systems prevent this. Paletter builds systems.

Extract, generate, compare, replace

Extract

Upload your new brand assets — logo, brand photo, inspiration image. Paletter extracts a role-based palette from whatever you feed it.

Generate

Refine with color theory modes. Adjust temperature. Lock colors you've already approved. Get a five-role system that matches your new direction.

Compare

Side-by-side diff with your old palette. Delta-E scores, perception labels, swatch comparison. Know exactly what's changing before you commit.

Replace

Export to all formats. Swap your tokens file. Same role names, new values. Every component updates. Done.

Know what you're shipping before you ship it

Paletter's diff tool shows exactly what changed. Delta-E scores quantify the perceptual distance between old and new values. Side-by-side swatches make the difference visible.

Perception labels translate the math into language stakeholders understand: "barely noticeable," "clearly different," "very different." No more squinting at two hexes wondering if anyone will notice.

Present the diff to your team. Get sign-off on the system, not individual colors. Ship with confidence.

Only values change. Components don't.

Because your old and new palettes use the same role names — background, ink, accent, support, neutral — swapping the token file updates everything. Components don't change. Only values do.

Your button references --color-accent. Your heading references --color-ink. Your card references --color-bg. None of those change. The hex values behind them do.

One file swap. Full rebrand. No broken pages, no orphaned colors, no "we missed the checkout flow."
