Let the site suggest colors

In the Template Kit, the site can suggest color sets that fit your site, or match the colors of a website you like. You choose one, preview it, and save it only if you like it.

What you get

Step 3. Suggest colors gives three palettes: Suggested, Softer and Bolder, with a line about the idea behind them. In this example, made for a bakery's demo site, it suggested warm copper, bakery cream and leafy sage. Click a palette to load it into the color pickers.

Step 4. Match its colors shows a picture of the website you named, three palettes taken from it (Faithful, Softer, Bolder) and its fonts, which you can match too. Each result is kept on the tab with its date until you close it with its ×.

Step 5. The Template Kit warns when colors are hard to read on what they sit on, with the contrast it measured. Nothing on your site changes until you click Apply Preview to try it and Save to keep it.

Check it worked

After saving, open your site in a private window and read a page: text and links must still be easy to read.

Good to know

  • Suggestions differ every time: if you do not like them, close them and ask again, or pick colors yourself.
  • Match only the colors of a site you are allowed to look like; the fonts are a suggestion too.
