About ColorGenerator

ColorGenerator is a professional color generation and management tool based on the OKCLH color space. It helps designers and developers create scientific, harmonious, and accessible color systems for their digital products.

Key Features

  • OKCLH Color Space: Unlike traditional tools based on HSL/RGB, ColorGenerator uses the perceptually uniform OKCLH color space for more harmonious color variations.
  • Scientific Color Scales: Generate color scales with perceptually uniform steps, avoiding the brightness inconsistency issues found in traditional color tools.
  • Accessibility Checking: WCAG 2.1 standards integration ensures your color choices meet accessibility requirements.
  • Fluid Gradients: Create scientifically balanced gradients that feel natural and smooth.
  • Developer-friendly: Export your color system to various formats for easy implementation in your projects.

The OKCLH Color Space

OKCLH (Oklab Chroma Lightness Hue) is a perceptually uniform color space designed to represent how humans perceive color. Unlike RGB or HSL, equal steps in OKCLH correspond to roughly equal perceived changes in color, making it ideal for:

  • Creating balanced color scales
  • Generating harmonious gradients
  • Measuring perceived color differences accurately
  • Improving color accessibility

Usage

  1. Select a base color using the color picker
  2. Choose between color scale, gradient, or accessibility tools
  3. Adjust settings according to your needs
  4. Copy the generated colors for use in your designs or code
