Tools
A selection of our favourite resources for exploring, testing, generating, and adapting colour, supporting everything from creative experimentation to accessibility and real-world implementation.

Jitter
Jitter is a browser‑based motion design tool that for animations without complex software, offering an intuitive timeline, reusable presets, text and vector animation, Figma integration, real‑time collaboration, and export to video, GIF, or Lottie.

Wada Sanzo Colors
by Paul Ungerer
A digital platform showcasing a digital version of 1930s Dictionary of Colour Combinations from Japanese artist and theorist Sanzo Wada. Users can browse classic, seasonal, and design-inspired palettes, view individual colour values (RGB/HEX/LAB), save favourites, and use a colour picker to find matching hues for creative projects.

Coolors
A robust and easy web-based colour palette generator allowing designers to create, refine, and export colour schemes in multiple formats or directly into design tools. It also offers contrast checker, Tailwind CSS, palette preview in designs, colour meanings, palette extractor and some AI tools.

Realtime Colors
by Juxtopposed
An interactive web tool that lets you visualize custom color palettes and font combinations in real time on a live sample website and export them for design or development use.

Endless tools
Endless Tools is a browser-based, no-code platform to generate 3D visuals, animations, effects and other graphic assets without heavy software or coding, using features like AI object creation, vector-to-3D conversion, material libraries, shaders and embed-ready interactive elements.

Il-Verse
by Heikki Lotvonen
IL-VERSE is an experimental visual poetry and typography editor that lets you place letters on a canvas with collision detection. Letters are "dropped" in a chosen direction until they hit other letters or the canvas edge.

Gradientor
by Afterimage
A simple and fun tool for drawing with gradients.

Marbling
by Afterimage
In-browser marbling simulator. Marble your pictures!

Color Wheel
by Adobe
Browse and create colour themes based on colour theory with the palette generator. Extract themes from images, generate gradients and recolour vector artworks.

Dither Tool
by Razi Ansari
A web-based creative utility built with Three.js and Figma Make, designed to let users upload and transform 3D models (OBJ, GLTF/GLB formats), videos (MP4, MOV, WebM), and raster images (PNG, JPEG, etc.) into stunning dithered and ASCII art visuals.

Ouroborus
by Dia.TV
Researching the possibilities of self-referential shaders. A playground for exploring the effects of recursive feedback loops in real time.

Contrast Checker
by WebAim
The OG online tool to evaluate the accessibility of colour combinations by calculating contrast ratios between foreground and background colours. Users can input HEX values to see whether they meet WCAG standards for normal, large, and enhanced text.

Contrast Checker
by Coolors
A simpler and pretier contrast checker (but not as complete as WebAim's).

Contrast Grid
by Michael Herchel
Visualise the contrast ratios of multiple colour pairings at once by generating an easy‑to‑read grid of foreground and background combinations and their WCAG accessibility results.

Coloring for Colorblindness
by David Nichols
Certain colours that look different to people with normal vision may appear identical to someone who is colourblind, following predictable “confusion lines” in colour space. This website simulates that effect, showing how your chosen palette would appear to viewers with protanopia, deuteranopia, or tritanopia.

Who Can use
by Corey Ginnivan
A tool that simulates how colour contrast can affect people with different visual impairments.

BlobSketch
by Colin Reid
BlobSketch is a realtime, browser-native soft-body laboratory where drawing becomes a dialogue with physics. Built in under 150KB of pure HTML, CSS, and WebGL, it reframes physics engines as creative instruments, demonstrating how embodied soft-matter interfaces can support both scientific insight and artistic exploration.
