Color systems for frontend teams
From one color to a production-ready system.
Generate a complete 50–950 color scale from any HEX value, test it on real UI, evaluate foreground choices and WCAG contrast, and export production-ready tokens for your stack.
Use #RGB or #RRGGBB.

Beyond palette generation
A palette is a starting point. Shipping it is the work.
Frontend work starts after choosing a hue. You still need usable shades, semantic roles, foregrounds, surface hierarchy and dark mode.
Tintary keeps generation, interface validation, accessibility checks and developer handoff inside one color workflow.
Stop at a color—or turn it into a system you can ship.
Source → system
See every decision before it reaches code.
One continuous path from input to implementation. No hidden framework assumptions.
Put your color through real components before it reaches production.
- 01
Build the source system
Start with one HEX value, a preset, an import or a saved theme. Add only needed roles and choose how foregrounds are generated.
- 02
Preview real contexts
Switch between interface patterns and composed examples. Both surfaces use the same generated theme—not isolated swatches.
- 03
Check quality
Review the active policy, WCAG AA or WCAG AAA independently—or compare them across both modes.
- 04
Export the system
Choose one of five adapters, inspect generated output, download files or share a route another person can inspect.
Real interface previews
Test colors where they have consequences.
Product patterns, component states, charts, gradients and visual compositions expose relationships that a row of swatches cannot.

Foreground + contrast
Readability is visible. Contrast is measurable.
Tintary makes foreground selection explicit by role, then checks the generated pairs through active-policy, WCAG AA and WCAG AAA lenses in both modes.

Framework-ready handoff
One model. Five ways into your stack.
Frameworks stay output adapters. Your color system remains portable.
Your next theme file starts with one production-ready color system.

Workspace settings persist in browser localStorage. Source colors also appear in canonical URLs for bookmarking and sharing; optional analytics stays off until consent.
Questions, answered
Product facts, without fine print.
Is Tintary free?
Yes. Tintary is free to use and does not require an account.
Where are my colors and workspace settings stored?
Workspace settings are saved in this browser using localStorage. Tintary has no account system or cloud palette database. Source colors are also encoded in canonical /colors/... URLs, so visiting or sharing one can transmit its path to hosting infrastructure. Optional analytics loads only after consent.
How is the 50–950 scale generated?
Tintary uses its Culori-backed perceptual color engine to parse and normalize your source, generate eleven shades and calculate WCAG contrast. A role-based policy selects foregrounds using Y/luma, maximum WCAG contrast or a guarded mix.
Which formats can I export?
Generic CSS custom properties, Tailwind CSS v4 @theme, Material UI theme, Bootstrap 5.3 variables and Figma / Tokens Studio JSON. The Figma output is JSON, not a plugin.
Start in seconds
Start with one color. Leave with a system.
Build a complete scale, inspect it in context and export tokens without committing to one framework.
Use #RGB or #RRGGBB.
