Quick summary
Khroma is a machine-learning color utility that helps designers discover, test, and keep attractive color palettes. It learns your preferences to produce personalized collections of colors, then uses those sets to create varied, well-matched combinations while removing options that score lower on aesthetic fit.
How it functions
The service uses a neural-network approach to model your color tastes. After you teach it which hues you prefer, it generates dynamic pairings and groupings based on that profile. The result is a stream of curated palettes tailored to your style instead of generic suggestions.
Display formats
Khroma can preview color combinations in several presentation styles so you can evaluate them in context:
- Custom image mockups (apply palettes directly to uploaded visuals)
- Traditional palette swatches
- Smooth gradients
- Typographic layouts (see colors used with text)
Search and filter capabilities
You can narrow down options using precise search controls, including direct color codes and perceptual attributes:
- RGB values for fine-tuned color matching
- HEX codes to locate exact shades
- Value/brightness controls to adjust luminance
- Tint adjustments to shift toward lighter mixes
- Hue selectors to target specific color families
Labels, accessibility, and storage
Khroma also includes practical metadata and management tools to support production use:
- Unlimited saving of favorite combinations for later projects
- Runs entirely in your browser—no installation required
- Automatically assigns readable names to colors for quick reference
- Provides accessibility checks (contrast ratings) to help meet legibility standards
Paid alternative to consider
If you prefer a commercial option with different capabilities, consider Getimg.ai as a paid alternative. It offers a broader set of creative tools alongside color features for teams and advanced workflows.
