Why I built Color CEO: Saving my sanity (and my browser tabs) 🎨
Hey Product Hunt community!
I’m the solo developer behind Color CEO, and I’ll be honest this project started out of sheer frustration. As a developer, my workflow usually involved having five different tabs open just to handle a single UI component: one for a palette generator, one for a Tailwind config, another for checking WCAG contrast, and maybe a fourth for ripping colors from a reference image.
I got tired of the "tab juggling" and decided to build one unified, free toolkit that does it all in one place without the need for an account or any server-side uploads.
Here is what makes Color CEO different:
Tailwind-Ready:
You can generate a palette and copy the exact configuration code for your tailwind.config.js instantly.
Privacy-First (Client-Side Only):
I’m obsessed with privacy. Whether you’re recoloring an SVG or extracting colors from a photo, nothing ever touches our server. It all happens locally in your browser.
Real-World Inspiration:
I built a Live Camera Color Picker so you can point your phone at anything on your desk and grab the hex code in real time.
Smart SVG Recolor:
Unlike basic filters, this tool preserves the original luminance, so your shadows and highlights actually stay intact while
you swap colors.
I’d love your feedback!
Since I'm a solo maker, I'm really looking for "brutal honesty" on the UI and workflow.
