About ColorCompare

ColorCompare is a free collection of color tools and resources for designers, developers, students, marketers, and creators. Our goal is simple: make working with color fast, accessible, and a little more delightful — without signups, paywalls, or clutter.

What you can do here

  • Compare colors side by side with HEX, RGB, and HSL values.
  • Check WCAG contrast ratios for accessible text and UI.
  • Generate harmonious palettes, gradients, shades, and tints.
  • Convert between HEX, RGB, HSL, and CMYK.
  • Extract colors from images entirely in your browser.
  • Preview designs for different types of color blindness.
  • Explore curated palettes for websites, brands, logos, and more.

Our principles

  • Free and open. Every tool is free to use, with no account required.
  • Privacy-friendly. Tools like the image color picker run entirely in your browser — your files are never uploaded.
  • Accessibility-first. Accessibility checks are built in, because good color should work for everyone.
  • Fast and lightweight. The site is built to load quickly and run instantly.

How we keep it free

ColorCompare is supported by unobtrusive display advertising. This lets us keep all tools completely free. You can read more in our privacy policy.
