About the Color Palette Visualizer

How to preview a color palette on websites, apps, graphics, outfits and rooms before you use it.

The Color Palette Visualizer shows your colors on real designs, so you can see how a palette works before you commit to it. Preview a color scheme on website and mobile app mockups, posters and typography, outfits for men and women, and rooms such as living rooms, bedrooms and kitchens.

Swatches can be misleading, because colors change next to one another and at different sizes. Seeing them in context is the quickest way to know whether a palette really works.

How to visualize a color palette

  1. Bring a palette. Open one from the generator, your wishlist, the gallery, or any palette's details page. Without one, the visualizer uses the palette you're working on in the generator.
  2. Choose a category: Web & Mobile, Graphics & Typography, Fashion, or Home Interior.
  3. Adjust the color roles. Each color plays a role, such as primary, secondary or accent. Shuffle the roles or set them by hand, and switch to dark mode for interfaces.
  4. Save or share. Save the palette and its color roles to your wishlist, export CSS or Tailwind code for the web previews, or export an image of an outfit or room.

What you can preview

  • Web and app design: landing pages, dashboards, online stores, pricing pages and mobile apps.
  • Graphics and typography: posters, social media posts, logos, stationery, illustrations, patterns and type scales.
  • Fashion: color combinations for men's and women's outfits, recolored on real photos.
  • Home interior: wall and furniture colors in a bedroom, living room, kitchen, bathroom, home office and dining room.

Tips for choosing colors in context

  • Look at the whole design, not single colors: the balance between them matters most.
  • Try shuffling roles. The same palette can feel very different with another color as primary.
  • For interfaces, check both light and dark mode before settling on a color scheme.
  • For rooms and outfits, keep strong colors to smaller areas and let neutrals cover the large ones.
