About Color Leap

Color Leap presents color palettes taken from art and culture across history, organised by era. You can search through 180 palettes spanning roughly the last 4000 years and pick out color combinations used by historical artists and cultures.

It suits illustrators, designers and anyone looking for palette inspiration grounded in historical work rather than trend-driven collections. It is a browsing tool for existing palettes, not a generator for creating new ones.
