Huetone: Accessible Color Palette Tool
Huetone is a color palette tool for UI design that generates WCAG-accessible palettes using the OKLCH color space for perceptually uniform lightness scaling. Solves the practical problem of creating design tokens that meet contrast requirements across all shade steps.
hue.tools: Color Utility Suite

Colourco.de – Find Your Colour Scheme
Colourco.de — a browser-based color scheme generator that lets you pick harmonious palettes interactively using color theory rules (complementary, analogous, triadic). A clean early example of applying color theory algorithmically in a web tool.
iWantHue — Color Palette Generator
iWantHue generates palettes of maximally distinct colors for data visualization — optimized in HCL color space for perceptual uniformity and colorblind accessibility. The go-to tool for assigning categorical colors to data categories.
The Crayola-fication of the World: How We Gave Colors Names (Part II)
Part II of an Empirical Zeal series on how naming colors changes how we perceive them — connecting Sapir-Whorf linguistic relativity to neuroimaging studies showing that named colors are processed differently across brain hemispheres. One of the best accessible treatments of how language shapes perceptual categories.
