DuckColor
What it is
DuckColor is a free web tool for creating color palettes from a word, mood, or short prompt. Each run produces two palette options with names, descriptions, and HEX color lists. Users can select the number of colors, palette type, style, and color family, with the described range spanning four to eight colors. Image Picker extracts key colors from an uploaded image and can save them as a swatch image. Palette Studio supports iterative changes, constraints, version history, and export-ready PNG or table swatches. The site also provides a Color Mixer for ratio-based blending and comparison of digital color-space results with a paint-style mix. Its accessibility checker gives WCAG-based contrast guidance, including AA and AAA. Individual HEX codes can be copied, and palettes can be saved as swatch images. The Free plan costs nothing and does not require login, although usage limits such as rate limits or daily quotas may apply and change.
