Colormind
What it is
Colormind is a free color-scheme generator available on the web and through an API. It uses deep learning to learn color styles from photographs, movies, and popular art. Users can generate palettes randomly or around a starting color, lock colors they want to retain, and upload an image for color extraction. Different datasets load each day. The site also includes a Bootstrap interface preview showing palettes on a demo landing page. Colormind’s REST API exposes the features available on Colormind.io. The default and ui models are always available, while other models change daily. Models refresh at 08:00 UTC, and the service is down for 30 seconds during loading. The API is free for personal and non-commercial use at no cost. Commercial application use requires contacting Colormind by email, with no price listed. Palette sources include Adobe Color data and hand-picked palettes from Dribbble. The API page directs questions to the maker by email.
