Huey

Color system generator

10 followers

Huey generates structured color palettes with real hierarchy – not random swatches. Colors follow the 60-30-10 principle with dominant, secondary, and accent roles. Pin colors you love, regenerate the rest with spacebar. Open any color to see HEX, RGB, HSL, CMYK values and fine-tune with sliders. Drag to rearrange, undo any change. Every palette gets a shareable URL. Free to use, no signup needed.

Hey everyone! I built Huey because I was frustrated with existing color palette generators. They all do the same thing: generate 5 random colors that technically "go together" based on color theory. But when I tried to actually use these palettes in my designs, I'd realize I had no idea which color should be my primary, which was the accent, or where my background colors were. The problem is that designers don't need random harmonious colors – they need structured color systems with clear purpose. Which color gets 60% of the space? Which one is the attention-grabbing accent at 10%? Where are my neutrals? So I built Huey to generate palettes with actual hierarchy. Every color has a role. You can pin the ones you like and regenerate the rest. And there's a proper inspector so you can fine-tune values and see all the color formats you need. It's still early – I have a long roadmap of features I want to add (better export options, accessibility scoring, mood-based generation). But the core idea is working, and I'd love to hear what you think. What features would make this more useful for your workflow?

As a fellow brand designer, I find this concept very helpful and easy to use.

To improve the user experience, I suggest allowing users to generate colors individually by clicking on each color box. This would let people build their own palette step-by-step, from primary colors to final accents, rather than choosing one color and reloading the entire palette each time.

The current process is good but it's slightly time-consuming. Adding the ability to lock everything and generate specific colors would make the tool much more efficient. Great job so far

Hi @megarbi thank you for trying it out! On desktop you can use the keyboard to navigate to the tile you want to change and use spacebar to regenrate just that color tile. There is also a regen option in the menu on each tile. Clicking on tiles also locks or pins color tiles in place. I also just pushed an update for mobile.
