ColorHive — Color Picker & Palette Manager

About

ColorHive is a fast, private color picker and brand-palette manager for designers and developers - and it is completely free.

PICK COLORS ANYWHERE
Use the built-in eye-dropper to sample any pixel on your screen, or type a hex value. Copy it as HEX, RGB, or HSL with one click.

BUILD AND ORGANIZE PALETTES
Save unlimited palettes, name each color, and reorder or remove swatches. Add a full light-to-dark shade ramp of any color in one click.

EXTRACT A PAGE'S COLORS
Pull the dominant palette from the page you are on - analyzed entirely on your device, nothing is uploaded.

DESIGN ACCESSIBLY
Check WCAG contrast (AA / AAA, normal and large text) for any foreground / background pair as you work.

FIND THE RIGHT COMBINATIONS
Generate six harmony schemes from any base color: complementary, analogous, triadic, tetradic, split-complementary, and monochromatic.

EXPORT PRODUCTION-READY TOKENS
Export any palette to CSS variables, SCSS, JSON, Figma / W3C design tokens, or a Tailwind config - copy or download instantly.

SYNC AND STAY INSPIRED
Optionally sync your palettes across your devices using Chrome's own encrypted storage (no account, no server). Browse a set of curated trend palettes and save the ones you like.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
ColorHive makes no network requests, has no analytics, and never sends your data anywhere. Everything runs locally in your browser.
