Really quickly in this video sponsored by SQUARESPACE.
I'm going to be showing you the 5 free online color tools.
That will transform the way you work.
The first one is Coolers.co
Now, if you know me, I've talked about this one before,
It's a game-changer. Go to Coolers.co and you can start the generator.
You literally just use the space bar tool and
It'll generate colors for you on the fly.
You can lock a color as well.
If you need to. If you like that certain color and
It'll come up with other color schemes and combinations
That will work for your next project. Super easy to copy the hex code
and bring it into Adobe Illustrator as well.
They also have a figment extension and a chrome plug-in
and you can put it Adobe Illustrator as well.
One of the plugins that they offer. Cool thing about this app is
That you can explore other people's color combinations as well.
That they have made inside of coolers.
So go and check it out.
It's completely free.
The second free color tool that you need to use is happyhues.co
If you're someone who is struggling for a color palette
or you just want to speed up your process. What happyhues
allows you to do is check loads of different color schemes
on a website in real time to make sure that
the color scheme that you're using actually works and looks the best.
If you click on this left hand side, all these different color schemes
and you can see how it works easily checking each color
making sure it works the best.
It can. Not only is this great for just your website design
You can actually use this for Instagram carousels or even brand colors.
So you can create color combinations with this for your
logo designs and branding. For instance, with this color scheme
that I've got on here.
I can go ahead and click to the background.
It will copy that, I can bring it in and put the exact hex code
in really quickly and simply knowing that the color will work on the page.
This is a great way of checking whether the color scheme works
before you've even tried it.
Saving you a lot of time.
If you have to add it all together. Similar to the last one
that the next website is Colormind.io
For any of you developers out there.
This website will be seriously helpful in choosing
your color palette, but if you like myself and you do a lot of
prototyping and figma, Adobe XD, this works exactly the same way.
It allows you to to generate color palettes to see on a website
to whether it works or not.
It's really important to of the brand colors work on the website
and to do that fast
Normally you would have to just input it in and hope for the best.
This time you can just press generate, generating will provide you
with a random color scheme that works.
But you can actually go ahead and add your own colors in
By clicking the swatches at the top and then in putting
your brand hex codes in there.
This will make sure you will know whether your color scheme
works on a website or landing page.
Again, saving you a lot of time in the design process.
One of my favorite and a lot of designer's favorite is the uigradients.com
This tool also free also online.
Also on website, obviously. Allows you to look at and use loads of gradients.
We don't use gradients that often but
You've ever struggled knowing what color to go.
Where in the gradient, or what kind of grading you want.
This website allows you to do it.
Find one, and put it on your work really easily.
You can just flick through different gradients that you like and
See which one will pops up or you can go to show all gradients
and you can find one that looks really good for your work.
For instance, citrus peel.
I like this one.
I'm going ahead and click the color that I want for the first part
Then you can pick the second color that's in the gradient
and as quick as that, you can have a gradient on your design
That you know works. That you seen online and you get the exact hex code for it.
It changes your life.
Well, I won't go that far but it's really good. Before I go to the last one
I just want to thank SQUARESPACE for sponsoring this video.
You might not be a web developer like myself.
I'm not one but you're a great designer and you need a website.
Maybe you're even searching for ways to get a good color scheme.
Well, SQUARESPACE is a really great way of having your own website.
Every designer needs one.
It's affordable and allows you to do anything you need
without having to know the knowledge in coding or web development.
You can just be a good designer and have it on there.
And if you're not even a good designer, you can still have a great
SQUARESPACE website with thousands of fully customizable templates.
That will meet every need from having a shop
Online portfolio, or contact page, a blog, or just your own landing page
for a company you're starting, SQUARESPACE has got you covered.

Get 10% off when you're ready to purchase your SQUARESPACE website
But little hack, you can design your SQUARESPACE website first.
So go ahead, use these color tools, change the colors of
your websites, using these tools and try it out
when you're ready, use the link down below. The last tool website
that is free to use but it's not at all least is picular.co
The difference of picular and
the rest of the other color size is that you can type in
A name of something that you want a color of and it will use
Google image search and generate the colors of that.
So for instance, let's type in a banana.
It will give us the colors in hex code forms
of a banana and you've got loads to choose from.
Let's do Fanta, giving you the Fanta colors.
What other colors we do? Sky.
Giving you the nice sky blue. What happens if I type my name in there?
I wonder what color pops up. Here it's got the browns.
That's weird.
So if you ever have a name for something like a plan or yourself
or product of some type, but you don't know the color
that you could use. This website free to use, super quick, super easy.
Saving you time.
