What ColorStudio Helps You Do
Palette Generator
Build complementary, analogous, triadic, and tetradic palettes from a single base color — with tints and shades on a 50–900 scale ready to drop into any design system.
Contrast Checker
Test any two colors against WCAG 2.1 AA (4.5:1) and AAA (7:1) thresholds. The checker runs in your browser and flags combinations that fail before they ship to users.
Color Harmony
Apply the color wheel's harmony rules — complementary, split-complementary, analogous, triadic — and see exactly where each color sits and why the combination works.
