Spring 2026 Feature Update

We've been working hard to make Realtime Colors even better. Here's what's new in this update.

New Harmony Algorithms

We've expanded our color harmony system to include 10 different algorithms:

Complementary: Opposite colors on the wheel

Analogous: Adjacent colors for harmony

Triadic: Three evenly spaced colors

Split-Complementary: Base + two colors adjacent to complement

Double-Split: Four colors in a rectangle pattern

Compound: Base + colors at 90° and 270°

Square: Four colors at 90° intervals

Tetradic: Four colors in an L-shape pattern

These new options give you more creative control over your palette generation.

Enhanced Export Options

We've added new color space exports:

OKLAB: A perceptually uniform color space

OKLCH: The polar form of OKLAB

These modern color formats provide better perceptual uniformity than traditional LAB/LCH, making them ideal for precise color work.

WCAG Validation

New automated contrast validation during randomization:

Ensures generated palettes meet accessibility standards

Validates all text/background combinations

Checks primary, secondary, and accent against backgrounds

This means you can trust that randomly generated palettes will be accessible by default.

UX Improvements

Better dark mode transitions

Improved color picker precision

Streamlined toolbar layout

Faster palette generation

What's Coming Next

Team collaboration features

Custom palette libraries

Browser extension

Mobile app
