Key Takeaways
- Khroma is an AI colour tool that learns your taste and generates personalised palettes.
- You pick colours you like, and it trains on them to suggest combinations you will actually use.
- It presents colours as type, gradients, and images so you can see them in context.
- A focused, niche tool — it does colour discovery well and nothing else.
Khroma tackles a small but real design problem: choosing colours. Instead of scrolling endless generic palettes, you tell it which colours you like, and it uses AI trained on your choices to generate combinations tuned to your taste — then shows them in the contexts you would actually use them.
What is Khroma?
Khroma is an AI-powered colour tool for designers and developers. At the start you select colours you are drawn to; it learns from those and generates personalised palettes and pairings. You can browse the results as typography, gradients, and images, search by hue, and save combinations — making it easier to land on colours that feel right rather than settling for a random palette.
What it does well
- Personalisation — palettes are tuned to the colours you actually like.
- Context previews — see colours as text, gradients, and images, not just swatches.
- Search by hue — find combinations around a colour you have in mind.
- Save and reuse — keep the pairings you like for later.
- Focus — it does colour discovery cleanly, without clutter.
Who it is for
Khroma is for designers, developers, and anyone choosing colours for a brand, website, or design who wants inspiration tailored to their taste. If picking a palette is a recurring sticking point, its personalised approach is a genuine help. It is a specialist tool, not a full design suite.
Things to keep in mind
Khroma is deliberately narrow: it helps you discover and pair colours, and that is all. It will not build your whole design system or check accessibility contrast for you in depth, so pair it with proper contrast checks when accessibility matters. Treat it as an inspiration and discovery tool.
Our verdict
Khroma is a lovely little tool that solves the “what colours should I use” problem better than generic palette galleries, because the suggestions are personalised to you. For designers who find colour selection a chore, it is a genuine time-saver and source of inspiration. Just remember to run accessibility contrast checks separately before finalising.
