Color Design Token Builder
Create a compact interface color token set and preview it on real UI states.
Build component-ready color tokens
This color design token builder turns a few chosen colors into CSS variables that are easier to wire into real components. Instead of returning loose swatches, it names values for surfaces, text, borders, focus rings, muted backgrounds, and accent states so you can paste them into a stylesheet and map them to buttons, cards, links, and badges.
Use product mode for balanced app surfaces, marketing mode for stronger accent contrast, dashboard mode for quieter data-heavy UI, or dark surface mode when the main container is intentionally dark. The preview updates with each control so you can see whether the token set feels coherent before copying it.
Private palette testing
All token generation happens in the browser from your selected colors. Nothing is uploaded or checked against a remote service. Use the contrast estimate as an early warning, then confirm the final palette with your real font sizes, disabled states, hover states, and any brand colors that cannot change.
Frequently Asked Questions
What tokens does this color builder create?
It creates named CSS variables for a small interface palette, including brand, accent, surface, border, muted, text, and focus-ring values.
How is this different from a simple palette generator?
The controls are organized around component tokens, so the preview shows buttons, cards, links, and badges using the variables you will copy.
Does it guarantee WCAG contrast?
No. It estimates the main text and surface contrast, but final accessibility depends on font size, weight, background use, and component state.
Are my colors stored anywhere?
No. The color mixing, preview, contrast estimate, and copied CSS variables are generated locally in your browser.
