Hey everyone 👋 I built Color CEO because I was honestly tired of opening 5–6 different tabs every time I started a new project. One for generating a Tailwind palette, another for checking WCAG contrast, another for extracting colors from images, and sometimes even separate apps just to grab a color from something in real life. It felt unnecessary and messy, so I decided to put everything into one simple, fast, browser-based tool. Color CEO includes a Tailwind CSS palette generator with ready-to-copy config, a live camera color picker that runs locally in your browser (no data sent to servers), SVG recoloring that preserves luminance, image palette extraction, gradient builder, contrast checker, and color blindness simulation. No signup required. The biggest challenge during development was performance, especially making real-time color updates and the live camera feature smooth on mobile devices. I’ve been optimizing it step by step based on feedback. Right now, I’m mainly looking for honest feedback from designers and developers. What feels useful? What feels unnecessary? What would make this part of your daily workflow? Really appreciate you checking it out 🙌

Why I built Color CEO: Saving my sanity (and my browser tabs) 🎨

Hey Product Hunt community!

I m the solo developer behind Color CEO, and I ll be honest this project started out of sheer frustration. As a developer, my workflow usually involved having five different tabs open just to handle a single UI component: one for a palette generator, one for a Tailwind config, another for checking WCAG contrast, and maybe a fourth for ripping colors from a reference image.

I got tired of the "tab juggling" and decided to build one unified, free toolkit that does it all in one place without the need for an account or any server-side uploads.
