Sound familiar?
Choosing colours shouldn’t take a week
You find a colour you love. Then you spend hours wondering what goes with it, whether the text will be readable and how on earth to get it into your website. Colour Studio brings all of that into one place.
“Is this too much?”
The Harmony Advisor flags clashes, muddy tones and colours fighting for attention, and fixes them in one click.
“Can people actually read it?”
Every text and background pairing is checked against accessibility guidelines as you go, so nobody is squinting at your website.
“Now what do I do with it?”
Export a handy PDF guide, Kadence-ready hex codes, CSS, Adobe swatches and more. Your palette goes wherever you need it.
What’s inside
Everything you need, all in one place
No more juggling five different websites to pick, check and share your colours.
Harmony Advisor
A friendly second opinion, whenever you need it
It’s like having a designer friend look over your shoulder. The advisor spots the things that make a palette feel “off” and explains why in plain English.
- Flags near-identical colours, clashing hues and saturation spikes
- One-click fixes you can always undo
- A palette health score and the 60-30-10 balance guide
Accessibility
Know your colours work for everyone
Every text and background combination is checked live against WCAG contrast guidelines. No spreadsheets, no guesswork.
- AA and AAA ratings for every pairing, at a glance
- See your palette through four types of colour blindness
- A live sample of headings, body text and buttons
Client-ready PDF guides
A beautiful brand colour guide, in seconds
Skip the hours in Canva. Add your logo and business name, write a note for each colour and save a polished PDF you’ll be proud to send.
- HEX, RGB, HSL and CMYK codes for every colour
- Tints and shades, accessible pairings, dos and don’ts
- White-label: it’s your branding on the cover, not ours

Questions
Good to know
Do I need any design experience?
Not at all. Colour Studio explains everything in plain English and suggests fixes for you. If you can pick a colour you like, you can build a palette.
I don’t use Kadence. Is it still for me?
Yes. Every colour comes with HEX, RGB, HSL and CMYK codes you can paste into any website builder or design tool, including Canva, Squarespace, Shopify and other WordPress themes. The Kadence view is a handy extra.
Can I use it for client work?
Absolutely. Use it for as many of your own and your clients’ projects as you like. The palettes and PDF guides you create belong to you and your clients. Your log-in is just for you, so please don’t share it.
Where are my palettes saved?
Privately, in the web browser you use. Nothing is uploaded, not even the photos you pull colours from. To move your palettes to another computer, use “Back up library” and restore it there.
What do I need to use it?
Just an up-to-date web browser such as Chrome, Safari, Edge or Firefox. It works on Mac, PC and tablet, and it’s at its best on a larger screen.
How do I get into the studio?
Straight after checkout you’re taken into the studio, and your private link arrives by email. There’s no account or password: keep the email and use the link to come back any time, on any device. Lost it? Enter your email below and I’ll send it again.
