Khroma
Khroma is an AI-driven color palette generator that uses a neural network to learn individual color preferences. By selecting a set of colors, users train a personalized algorithm directly in the browser. The AI then produces limitless palettes tailored to the user's taste while automatically blocking colors they dislike. The underlying model was trained on thousands of popular human-made palettes from across the internet to ensure aesthetically pleasing combinations. Khroma offers multiple ways to explore generated palettes, including typography, gradient, palette, and custom image views. The tool includes a powerful search that allows filtering by hue, tint, value, color name, hex code, or RGB values. Users can save favorite combos to an unlimited library, where each pair receives color names, hex codes, RGB values, CSS code snippets, and a WCAG accessibility rating for contrast. All processing happens locally in the browser, making it fast and privacy-friendly. Khroma was created by designer and developer George Hastings and remains completely free to use.
