5 Color Generator Sites to Scheme up Killer Color Combinations [516]

Periwinkle and lilac? Pink and teal? How about Cobalt Blue and Mustard Yellow?

Colors. Or rather color combinations.

Yes, you’ve heard this before, colors combos will make or break your design

As.

As designersers, picking out the correct color combo is yet another skill a good design requires. Be it the CTA button, image border, or even image hue, striking the correct color balance that gels EVERYTHING together is not an easy feat.

Making it tougher is getting a client that already has strict branding rules or corporate colors. Add too much, our focus goes astray. Too little and they’ll say we haven’t done much.

To help you achieve that killer color combo your client will die for (no pun intended), we’ve collected 5 color generator sitess. Each site is unique and caters for every type of designerer and/or graphic artists.

Here’s the breakdown.
