Show HN: Palettepoint.com – AI color palettes from text descriptions or images
latentio Monday, February 16, 2026I built this because choosing colors is one of those tasks that seems simple but ends up taking hours. You keep randomizing and nothing feels right, or you browse inspiration boards hoping something works. So I made a tool where you describe what you need.
Type "warm Japanese autumn" or "90s rave flyer" and pick a style (analogous, triadic, monochromatic, etc.) and how many colors (3-7). It returns a named palette with descriptions. It works with images too: upload a photo and it extracts a palette. You can combine both, so uploading a photo and adding "make it cooler" works. It runs on GPT-5.2 with vision.
You can export palettes as CSS variables, SCSS, Tailwind config, or JSON. Copy individual colors in hex, RGB, HSL, or CMYK. There's a live preview that shows the palette applied to buttons, cards, and UI components so you can evaluate it before committing.
There's also a gallery with curated palettes you can browse, filter by style, and favorite. Each palette has its own shareable link.
There's also a set of free tools : - Color converter (paste a hex code, get every format) - Contrast checker (WCAG AA/AAA) - Color mixer - Gradient generator - Image color extractor - Manual palette builder
I'd love to hear your thoughts. What's missing? What would make this your go-to color palette tool?
