How to use the tool
- Describe your brand. In 2–3 sentences state mission, tone and audience.
Example 1: “FrostByte secures small-business data with AI-driven cyber-defences.”
Example 2: “HearthCraft sells handcrafted candles that turn tiny apartments into cosy retreats.” - Enter your industry. Keep it specific for better context.
Example 1: “Cybersecurity SaaS”
Example 2: “Artisanal Home Fragrance” - Add emotion cues (optional). List up to three feelings you want customers to feel.
Example 1: “Reassurance, Futurism, Agility”
Example 2: “Comfort, Nostalgia, Warmth” - Note competitor colors (optional). Help the AI avoid look-alikes.
Example 1: “Deep navy, neon green”
Example 2: “Pastel pink, beige” - Hit “Generate”. The API (action = process_llm_form) returns an HTML block with HEX codes, usage notes and copy-to-clipboard support. Paste those codes into your style guide, Figma library or CSS variables.
Quick-Facts
- Average palette size for brand systems = 5 colors (Interaction Design Foundation, 2020).
- Users judge a site’s visual appeal within 50 ms (NNG, 2019).
- WCAG 2.1 requires rac{4.5}{1} contrast for body text (W3C, 2018).
- Global rebrand with new colors costs SMBs $90 k on average (Forbes, 2022).
- RGB to HEX conversion is lossless because both encode 24-bit color depth (Adobe Color Guide, 2021).
What does the Brand Color Palette Generator do?
The tool matches your brand brief to color-psychology data and industry palettes, then returns five HEX codes with usage notes inside 1 API call. It leverages pattern-recognition models trained on design trend archives (Adobe Color Trends Report, 2023).
How should I pick emotion words?
Select emotions that support your value proposition; “trust” suits finance, while “excitement” boosts sports brands (Labrecque & Milne, 2013). Stick to three words so the model can prioritise accurately.
How many colors will I receive?
You receive a primary, secondary, two neutrals and one accent—five total—mirroring best-practice identity kits (Pentagram Guidelines, 2022).
How can I ensure accessibility?
Test each suggested foreground–background pair for rac{4.5}{1} contrast using free checkers; adjust saturation until you meet WCAG 2.1 AA (W3C, 2018).
Can I edit the palette after generation?
Yes. Copy HEX codes into design software, tweak hue or brightness, then rerun the tool with revised competitor colors to validate uniqueness.
Why avoid competitor hues?
Differentiation boosts brand recall by up to 80 % in saturated markets (Kantar BrandZ, 2021). Unique palettes cut visual confusion and legal risk.
Does color psychology really influence buyers?
Colors sway purchase intent for 93 % of shoppers according to retail studies (Satyendra, 2014). “Color signals information quicker than words” (ISO 9241-125, 2017).
Which sectors gain the most?
Start-ups, D2C e-commerce and professional services gain fast recognition because visual identity substitutes for limited legacy presence (Gartner Marketing Survey, 2022).
