Colorsinspo Plugin Features: 

1. Color Palettes

With color palettes, hue palettes, and solid colors, you can find an enormously vast range of colors that can be copied by clicking on the color. From there, you can simply add the color directly to Adobe XD, paste it to the color selection, or add it to assets to use it as your project’s color asset. You can also search keywords, i.e., dog, yellow, red, pink, hot, etc., along with your likable color code.

2. Contrast Checker

The contrast checker can be used to validate the contrast ratio between the background color and foreground color, to check if it is readable for all individuals. The contrast checker uses WCAG2 standards and generates the report to help you decide and extend your knowledge in this particular domain.

3. AI palette generator

AI will allow users to get in touch with exquisitely created palettes every time they want new substances for their creativity. Any randomly created palette can be added to the artboard directly or saved to assets for continued use, along with a safe zone of the previous palettes.

4. Color Blind Simulation

Using this feature, designers can check if their design is accessible or not against the different types of blindness. You can apply the simulator to a selected artboard to simulate blindness in the copy of that artboard, or you can choose an individual component and apply blindness to check if the element is accessible and toggle it back to the original.

5. Color Wheel

This will generate color palettes based on color theory for any of your chosen or randomly generated colors. You can add any of the color wheel’s palette directly to your artboard and even save it to use as assets further.

6. Brand Colors

With brand colors, we provide you with color palettes from the most notable brands that can be used directly in your design - saving you the trouble of struggling to find a brand’s exact color or get inspiration from their palettes.

7. Random Color/Gradient

Choosing colors from too many variants can be very tedious. Tired of Choices? Go bold and pick it all random (Solid Colors) or random gradients.

8. Gradient Shades

This feature permits designers to create gradient shades from two different colors easily and allows you to choose the exact number of shades, select colors from the artboard, and input the color’s hex code.

9. Palette Collection

Designers can use this feature to quickly access the most notable palette presets for UI designs, illustrations, branding, and other design projects.

10. Open Color Library

If you still want access to a comprehensive color library of colors from popular design systems, we happily provide that, too!
