Color combinations that start from intent

Colorise Pro Pairs is a free pairing navigator for design engineers — not a random palette generator. Anchor on a primary brand color, filter by task and mood, then export role-based Duo, Trio, Brand, or System tokens for print, slides, and product UI.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from a color picker?

A picker finds one color. Color Pairs starts from what you are making and how many colors you need — then recommends full systems with roles, face/reverse contrast, and a live mock.

What does Duo vs Trio mean?

Duo is two colors (surface + ink) checked both ways — face and reverse. Trio is surface, content, and one accent — the classic 60·30·10 rule for slides and landings.

Can I start from my brand color?

Yes. Use Primary color — the same OKLCH CompactPicker as Studio — or open /pairs?hex=2563EB. Systems re-hue around that primary while keeping role lightness and contrast discipline.

Are the pairs accessible?

Duo mode shows WCAG 2.1 and APCA results for both directions. Multi-role systems keep ink and surface contrast disciplined in the generator.
