CLUSTER COLOR-PALETTES-DESIGN · 143 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2021-11-28
Color palette and theme tools
This cluster comprises color-palette generators, theme managers, and color utility apps for designers and developers, covering mood-based palettes, contrast checking, and exports to Tailwind, terminal themes, and design files. Dated entries are sparse from 2017 through early 2024, then appear more regularly at one to two per month through mid-2026. farbwerk leads traction with 50 stars, while stylesync and stitch-and-shades show 0 stars.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
