With <strong>Ambiance<\/strong>, you can <strong>auto-generate color schemes right from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.colourlovers.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">COLOURlovers API<\/a><\/strong>, all at the click of a button!<\/p>\n<p>This free tool <strong>generates colors<\/strong> and lets you <strong>save your favorites right inside the web app<\/strong>. The \u201cAmbiance Box\u201d is your personal bookmarks folder where you can save color palettes that inspire your work.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/ambiance-color-palette-generator\/01-ambiance-random-colors-homepage.jpg\" alt=\"Ambiance color generator\" width=\"1000\" height=\"673\"><\/figure>\n<p>On first page load, you\u2019ll be <strong>presented with a single color palette<\/strong>. The circular arrow button on the left-hand side will <strong>generate a new color palette<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>One click at a time, you can <strong>rotate through tons of amazing color schemes<\/strong>, all vetted by the COLOURlovers community. These color schemes have their own names and <strong>come with raw data for each color<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>HEX code<\/li>\n<li>RGB<\/li>\n<li>HSL<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you hover over any color boxes, you\u2019ll see a copy button. Click that to <strong>copy the HEX code automatically<\/strong> and bring it into your design software of choice (or even CSS).<\/p>\n<p>By clicking the name above the palette, you\u2019ll be <strong>redirected to the COLOURlovers website<\/strong>. Here, you\u2019ll find the full-color palette, along with more detailed information such as usage rights.<\/p>\n<p>Most color palettes <strong>fall under Creative Commons<\/strong>, but it\u2019s always good to check. Some <strong>require attribution<\/strong>, which seems almost impossible to judge or enforce, especially if you\u2019re only using one or two colors instead of the whole palette.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/ambiance-color-palette-generator\/02-ambiance-copy-hex-color.jpg\" alt=\"Ambiance color generator web app\" width=\"1000\" height=\"543\"><\/figure>\n<p>In my opinion, the most useful part of Ambiance is the <strong>storage box<\/strong>. You <strong>don\u2019t need any account<\/strong> since it all works through session cookies, so it\u2019s much easier than joining the COLORlovers community.<\/p>\n<p>Take a peek at the Ambiance homepage and see what you think. It probably won\u2019t help much if you\u2019re looking to generate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/best-color-tools-for-web-designers\/\">specific color schemes<\/a> based on certain colors.
