Why Yellow for your UI?

Yellow is the color of optimism, attention, and warmth. While challenging in pure form, a well-tuned yellow-based system (using golden/amber tones) creates an inviting, energetic interface. It's ideal for creative tools, learning platforms, note-taking apps, and brands that want to radiate positivity.

FAQ

What colors pair well with yellow?
Our generator automatically creates a complementary accent color (hue +120°), balanced text colors, and neutral backgrounds. The entire system is derived mathematically from the yellow base to ensure harmony.
Is a yellow color system good for dark mode?
Absolutely. Our generator creates optimized dark and light mode variants. In dark mode, the yellow primary maintains vibrancy against dark backgrounds, with adjusted surface and text colors for readability.
Can I customize the yellow palette after generating it?
Yes! The generated palette is a starting point. You can use our tool to pick any shade of yellow as your base, and the entire system adapts. You get CSS variables that are easy to override.
