Paletier Color Tools

Palette Role Checker

Assign background, main, accent, anchor, and secondary roles to an existing palette.
Palette colors (3–6)

Each color receives a practical role plus lightness, saturation, chroma, a CSS variable, a recommended share, and any structural warnings.

How It Works

  1. Enter 3 to 6 palette colors.
  2. Let the engine assign each color a practical role.
  3. Copy the role map for CSS variables or design notes.

Scores run 0–100: higher means a stronger fit or a safer palette. Suggested changes are design guidance, not automatic decisions — keep what serves your project.

FAQ

What is an anchor color?

An anchor is the deepest grounding color, often used for text, outlines, or visual weight.

Can one color have more than one role?

In real systems yes, but this checker assigns a primary role so the palette is easier to apply.

What should I use for text?

Use the anchor against the background when the reported contrast passes; otherwise adjust the pair.
