About Material Theme Builder

Material Theme Builder creates a Material Design 3 theme from a source color you choose. It derives the full set of related colors the design system uses, so an app's buttons, surfaces and text all follow from one starting point.

It suits designers and Android or web developers who build interfaces with Material Design 3 and want a consistent color scheme without working out every role by hand.

Strengths

  • Builds a full Material Design 3 scheme from one color
  • Official tool from the makers of the design system

Limitations

  • Only useful for projects following Material Design 3
  • Little information beyond the tool itself on the page
