Privacy choices

Hue Codex uses local settings and privacy-aware measurement.

Required storage keeps tools and your local workspace working. Analytics helps improve popular tools; stricter consent regions stay opt-in unless you allow it. Marketing and personalized ads stay off until you choose them.

A polished color tool workspace with palette swatches, color picker controls, contrast meters, gradients, and export panels.

CSS tools

Copy-ready CSS syntax, custom properties, gradients, and browser-friendly output.

Palette tools

Harmony, scale, and readable text helpers for stronger design systems.

Reference tools

Named colors, glossary entries, model comparison, gamut checks, and color difference QA.

Adjustment tools

Blend, composite, warm, cool, mute, intensify, ladder, and extract practical swatches.

Accessibility tools

Color-vision simulation, readable pair discovery, visible focus states, and accessible link color checks.

Image tools

Sample exact pixels, extract starting-point image palettes, and design browser-side duotone image treatments locally.

Reference foundation

Tools with readable context.

Each Hue Codex utility includes human-readable guidance, related tool links, structured data, canonical URLs, and no-JavaScript reference content.

Reference depth

Named colors, glossary terms, model comparison, gamut checks, and color-difference tools make the toolkit work like a codex.

Accessibility

Contrast, color-vision simulation, accessible pair finding, focus rings, and link checks support real UI decisions.

Project workflows

Palette, image, gradient, blending, opacity, and CSS tools provide copy-ready values, reusable export text, and browser-local presets.
