Monday Morning Cool Tool: Adobe Color

This week’s cool tool recommendation is Adobe Color – a free online tool that allows you to create and explore color palettes.

Here are some of the things you can do with Adobe Color:

  • Create color palettes based on color theory: Use the color wheel to create palettes that are harmonious and pleasing to the eye. You can also use different color harmonies, such as complementary, analogous, and triadic.
  • Extract themes from images: Upload an image and Adobe Color will extract a color palette from it. This is a great way to create a palette that matches the colors in an image you like.
  • Explore pre-made themes: Browse thousands of user-created color palettes for inspiration. You can search by keyword, mood, or even specific color.
  • Accessibility tools: Adobe Color helps you create accessible themes that are usable for people with color blindness.
  • Integration with Adobe products: Once you’ve created a palette, you can easily use it in other Adobe products like Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign.
