Coolors

Here you can explore color palettes by color and by styles like warm, cold, bright, dark, pastel, vintage, monochromatic, and gradient.

You can also generate your own color by clicking on the Generate tab. here you can lock colors that you like and press enter and the site will show you different colors that can combine with the ones you lock.

You can also pick a palette from a photo and explore gradient combinations. Isn’t that cool?

Color Hunt

You can search depending on color, style, topic, or emotion, let’s say you are looking for a “fall” color palette or you want to search it by feelings like “happy” and you can even search by holidays, for example, “Christmas”.

Some of the options you have are pastel, Neon, gold, vintage, retro, light, dark, Warm, cold, summer, winter, spring, rainbow, night, space, earth, nature, sunset, skin, food, cream, coffee, halloween, wedding and kids.

Canva

You can search color palettes by using keywords but at the moment they don’t count with a large library of color palettes.

You can upload an image and Canva will show you a color palette from your favorite image.

In conclusion, there are many ways to obtain color palettes, these are the 3 easiest options that exist at the moment. Personally, the one that seems to me the most complete is the Coolors page since it gives you more versatility to create beautiful color palettes.

I hope this has helped you and if you have any questions please let me know.
