Tool library
Choose the job, then open the tool.
Hue Codex groups tools around the way people actually make color decisions: select, reference, verify, adjust, organize, and share.

Everyday color selection, conversion, contrast, and palette generation.
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.
