About Sessions College Color Calculator
The Color Calculator is a web tool published by Sessions College, an online design school. You choose one or more base colors and a color harmony, and it builds a palette based on color theory relationships such as complementary and analogous combinations.
The result is a color chart with hex, RGB and CMYK values, and the colors are shown applied to design samples so you can judge them in context. It suits beginners learning color theory as well as anyone choosing colors for a logo, a web page or a room.
Strengths
- Builds palettes from classic color harmonies
- Gives hex, RGB and CMYK values for each color
- Previews colors on design samples
Limitations
- Sits inside a college marketing site with course promotion around it
- Covers harmonies only, without contrast or accessibility checks
