An Avalonia based interactive tool to generate color palettes and themes, exporting design projects to ADOBE ASE / ACO formats, CSS for use on the web, and also XAML, AXAML, plain text and JSON for use in various desktop or mobile applications, such as Uno, Avalonia or WPF applications.

Palette from Color Wheel

Can export the palettes to the following formats: Avalonia aXAML, WPF / UWP / UNO XAML, Paint.Net , CSS, Adobe ASE / ACO, JSON.

Palette from any Image Shades

Uses the KMeans algorithm to extract the most dominant colors from any image. Images are converted to the CIELAB color space for better and more accurate results.

A 'Wizard' mode to create palettes, very easy to use...

Create colorful palettes and themes by just moving a few sliders!

clearshot

Structured screenshot analysis for UI implementation and critique. Analyzes every UI screenshot with a 5×5 spatial grid, full element inventory, and design system extraction — facts and taste together, every time. Escalates to full implementation blueprint when building. Trigger on any digital interface image file (png, jpg, gif, webp — websites, apps, dashboards, mockups, wireframes) or commands like 'analyse this screenshot,' 'rebuild this,' 'match this design,' 'clone this.' Skip for non-UI images (photos, memes, charts) unless the user explicitly wants to build a UI from them. Does NOT trigger on HTML source code, CSS, SVGs, or any code pasted as text.
