What is couleur.io?
couleur.io is a simple tool designed to help users create harmonizing color palettes for web design projects. It utilizes HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) color values in CSS to generate a palette of 10 color swatches based on a selected starter hue and saturation level. The tool ensures all colors in the palette work well together by sharing the same hue and saturation, with varying lightness levels.
Users can preview color palettes in both light and dark theme contexts, and toggle CSS variables for full palette integration. Accent color ideas are generated by rotating the selected base hue by increments of 45 degrees, providing contrasting colors that complement the base palette. The tool also allows for easy copying of CSS variables, enabling quick implementation and customization in web projects.
