How do I use a nostalgic palette?

Use the darkest tone for text, the palest for large surfaces, and the most saturated color as the accent. Click any swatch to copy its hex, or open a palette in the generator to adjust it.

Are these real named colors?

Every swatch links to its closest curated color page, with codes, tints and shades, palettes, and contrast data.

Can I export a palette?

Yes. Open it in the generator for CSS, Tailwind, SCSS, SwiftUI, Android, and JSON exports, plus a shareable link.
