CanDoYa Accessible Palette Generator
What it is
CanDoYa Accessible Palette Generator turns a brand color and page background into interface roles, then checks intended foreground and background pairs against WCAG contrast targets. It generates text, muted text, surface, primary, on-primary, accent, and border colors. Users choose AA or AAA and see exact ratios with pass or fail results for each pair. The generator tries to preserve the brand hue and saturation, adjusting lightness to reach the selected ratio. Accent choices can use analogous, complementary, or triadic hues and receive the same contrast check. A live interface preview shows the palette in context. Individual HEX values can be copied, or the complete palette can be copied as CSS custom properties. Palette generation, contrast measurement, and CSS export run locally in the browser, and entered colors are not uploaded for calculation. The tool is free, with unlimited palettes and no account or usage limit. Its report covers opaque sRGB contrast only and does not establish whole-product accessibility.
For and against
For
- Generates multiple interface color roles
- AA and AAA contrast targets
- Shows exact ratios and pass/fail results
- Exports HEX values and CSS properties
- Runs locally without uploading entered colors
Against
- Does not assess whole-product accessibility
- Contrast report covers opaque sRGB colors
- No third-party integrations are listed
The verdict
CanDoYa provides a focused, local palette workflow with contrast checks and CSS export. It helps evaluate selected color pairs, but its report is narrower than a complete accessibility review.
Who it suits
The generator is intended for product designers, front-end developers, accessibility reviewers, and small teams. It suits people creating color systems and checking specific contrast pairs.
