Huey – Structured color palette generator with hierarchical roles

Summary: Huey creates color palettes based on the 60-30-10 principle, assigning dominant, secondary, and accent roles to colors. Users can pin preferred colors, regenerate others, and fine-tune values with sliders while viewing HEX, RGB, HSL, and CMYK formats. Each palette generates a shareable URL without requiring signup.

What it does

Huey generates color palettes with defined hierarchy rather than random swatches, allowing users to pin colors and adjust others. It provides detailed color values and lets users rearrange or undo changes.

Who it's for

It is designed for designers needing structured color systems with clear roles for primary, secondary, and accent colors in their workflows.

Why it matters

Huey addresses the lack of clarity in typical palette generators by providing purposeful color roles that align with design space allocation principles.
