You can create a palette from the Color Palettes page by clicking the add button. You must be signed in before submitting a palette.

Create the palette

  1. Open /color-palette.
  2. Click the add button.
  3. Choose or edit at least two colors.
  4. Add a name.
  5. Optionally write a description.
  6. Select at least one palette category.
  7. Select at least one color category.
  8. Submit the palette.

What happens after submission

The palette is saved with a generated URL slug based on the name and colors. After a successful submit, you are taken to the new palette page.

Good palette structure

A useful palette usually has one background or base color, one primary color, one accent color, and at least one readable text or contrast color.

Creation rule

Create palettes with real use in mind. A palette that works in an interface or graphic is more valuable than random attractive colors.
