What it is

MakeMyPalette is a free, browser-based collection of CSS and color tools for web designers and front-end developers. Its palette generator can export colors as CSS variables, Tailwind configuration, SCSS, or JSON. A separate image tool finds dominant colors in an uploaded image and offers the same export formats. The collection also includes color conversion and mixing, colorblind simulation, color-name lookup, and accessible palette generation. Its contrast checker evaluates color pairs against WCAG 2.1 AA and AAA requirements for normal and large text. CSS generators cover gradients, shadows, filters, easing curves, border radius, and clip paths. The favicon tool accepts an image or letter-based icon and downloads PNG sizes for browsers and web manifests. The site describes the tools as client-side; its privacy policy says selected files and tool content are processed in the browser, not sent to its servers or third parties. It says the current site shell uses no client-side analytics or advertising scripts and sets no tracking or advertising cookies. No account flow is required.
