Gradient Palette
Creates discrete colour palettes by sampling stops along a gradient curve.
What Gradient Palette does
A Gradient Palette generator that creates discrete color palettes by sampling stops along a gradient curve between two specified colors. Users input a start color, an end color, and the desired number of color stops, and the tool outputs a series of usable hexadecimal color codes representing the systematic transition between the two hues. This allows designers and artists to break down smooth visual gradients into distinct, complementary shades for precise application across various projects. The interface focuses on the core workflow of defining color boundaries and quantity, providing a straightforward method for generating consistent color schemes without the complexity of full-featured design suites.
How to use the Coolors Gradient Palette

Gradient Palette FAQ
- Can I use the gradient palette tool to create palettes with more than two colors?
- Yes, the tool allows users to specify the number of colors or stops needed, generating that many discrete color codes along the gradient between the start and end colors.
- What format are the generated colors provided in?
- The generated colors are provided as usable hexadecimal color codes, which are standard for web design and digital applications.
- Is it possible to export the generated gradient palette for use in other design software?
- Yes, the tool offers export options including URL sharing, PDF, Image, CSS, ASE, and SVG formats, allowing integration with various design workflows.
- Does the gradient palette generator only work with two colors, or can I input multiple starting points?
- The tool specifically generates palettes by sampling stops along a curve between a defined start color and end color, focusing on a two-color transition model.
