About Data Color Picker

Data Color Picker creates color series that look evenly spaced to the eye, which is hard to do by hand but matters when readers need to tell chart colors apart and match them to a key.

It has three modes: multi-hue palettes, single-hue scales and divergent scales. You choose from three to eight colors, the interpolation direction and a light or dark background, preview the result in context, then copy the HEX values or export the palette as SVG.

Strengths

  • Palette, single-hue and divergent modes
  • Preview on light or dark backgrounds
  • Copy HEX values or export as SVG

Limitations

  • Limited to eight colors per palette
  • Focused on data visualization rather than general UI palettes
