Coolors App Reviews

So far a very useful app to play with colors on the go. I love to explore color palettes in different situations when my mood is affected so this app comes into handy.

I’m planning a 100 Day Project and I don’t want to waste time each day picking colors, so this is letting me set up all my colors ahead of time.

Love love love this app. I’m not sure if I just haven’t discovered it, but I think you should be able to hold and drag each section to reconstruct your palettes.

This app comes in handy for tech design and generating palettes. I really love what it does. However, the only reason I didn’t give the app 5 stars is bc I cannot take a picture and it generate the color. That’s a bummer and the result is I use Pantone Studio, which also generates palettes and codes, for free. C’mon guys that’s the only thing missing. If this ability is available on the app please let me know and I will change my star rate.

please update for iphone X 😁😁😁 the dimensions are off. otherwise great app!

Felicidades! el mejor dinero gastado una aplicación y no esta nada cara

I love this app. The only reason I’ve given it for stars is because a few of the features online (I.e. choosing previous tags when saving a palette) are not yet available on this mobile app. Other than that. This is definitely a great way to keep and organize your themes and scheme ideas for projects.

This seemed like a great site online but unfortunately the app falls incredibly short due to it’s lack of updates in over 2 years. You’re better off using Adobe Capture.

This is a must for all designers. Fast and fluid design. Finding color palettes is so much easier now. I only wish the app included the title of the color like the web version does.

I’ve used Coolors before on their website and It works great, all you can ask for a color generator however it seems that the website works better than the app which is odd seeing as you have to pay for it.

App does not allow you to copy and paste hex codes and other information. Therefore, if your work flow includes needing to paste info into the app or copy info out of the app, you might as well save your cash and use the website

I don’t leave reviews good or bad so this what I am doing here is unprecedented. I excitedly downloaded your app on March 22nd . I was more than happy to purchase the app as I had a very fantastic experience with your website. However, I was soon very disappointed when I realized that you did not have the opinion to upload pictures onto the app to create palettes as you have on the website. This particular feature is why I paid money to download your app because while there are similar websites that offer your service. I had not seen any that are 1) apps and 2) allow for photo upload. To say I am severely disappointed that this is similar for your app is an understatement. As someone who works predominantly from my phone something that I thought would be a fantastic purchase and investment turned out to be a waste of money I could have used elsewhere. I wish I could get a refund, but I am sure that’s not a possibility. So all I can do is have faith that this specific feature is available soon. Hopefully, I won’t have to delete the app and consider the money lost. Ps. I sent this same message to your feedback desk on March 22nd. It’s now March 25th and no one has responded to my feedback. Hence why I sent this review here.

As a graphic design student I literally cannot function without it. Everyone has their thing, this is mine.

Even though I would like it if the app have the option to create color palettes based off of uploaded photos like the website, it’s still a good app when I need to brainstorm colors for an animation pallet or illustrations. If the app updates for the option to upload based on images then it’s by far worth it to get.

Basically as good as the web app but missing the colorblind settings. The web app is stupendous, especially for me as a colorblind person.

It really is idiot proof

It would be really nice if I could specify whether I’m looking for a monochromatic or a complementary, etc....color scheme. Right now it’s like the color scheme lottery where you just sit there and hit “generate” until you get lucky. Not very efficient.

Great, but i wish it has the ability to add or remove colors. i could be wrong but i think you can do that on browser mode

Best app for brainstorming palettes! Best app for randomly generating colors when your stuck! Im an illustrator/designer using this for every project I tackle. Gets me going with a starting point to about that blank-page fear

I love this app so so much! I’m a digital media character designer and while I can come up with my own palettes, this is so much easier and if I ever can’t come up with something, this is always here for me. The colour palettes are all so pretty and go so well with each other. It’s not at all random and it knows what it’s doing, it puts colours that balance each other out and go well and work. I love the palettes so much. Amazing app!

If you’re constantly creating but need to come up with a color scheme and don’t want to spend days searching for colors that fit together in scheme, this app is for you. Artists, digital designers, interior designers, print. Any activity that needs colors to be generated and the output is given in any format you want, this is a must have. I rarely review things but I realized today just how heavily I’ve depended on the 100% free tool so I have no idea what the reviews about payments is about but this lets you create a profile and save your palettes/schemes free of charge. Don’t waste your time with the other freemium stuff here. Need a color generator? It’s Coolors or endless frustration.

This app is great if you need some help or inspiration for your color schemes! I would like if it had some more complexity to it.

I can take screenshots and pull the color palettes into Adobe Kuler to digital paint in photoshop/flash/etc later on Wacom Cintiq using the PC. wonderful way to scroll through various possible color palettes to paint with while I p*** on reddit

Excellent app, simple and straightforward. Creates palettes automatically or based on predefined tones. But one flaw kills it for me: in order to save your palettes you must have a Coolors account, and the app just won’t keep you logged in. Even more, it may restart automatically and make you lose all your unsaved progress. In order to prevent this you must log in every single time you’d like to use the app, and save your work every couple minutes. Simply annoying! Please fix it and my rating automatically goes to five stars.

I absolutely do not buy apps ever. Then, I realized I didn’t have my laptop where I can use the Coolors site for free usually, SO I HAD to get this app. I am obsessed. It is so easy to generate and save all of the PERFECT schemes. I color to relieve anxiety, but my perfectionism gives me anxiety about what colors to use. This app helps narrow the endless possibilities and makes my coloring process a lot more calming!

I love it! I use it every time I draw, digitally or on paper. But I have to log in every time because it can't remember my account. I still highly recommend!!!!!

Didn’t know I needed it until I had it. Plus just so delightful!

No iPhone X support

Can't save palette without logging in.

I love Coolors, and the app is great. Only beef I have is that you can’t customize the name of the individual colors in the palette, and the there is no setting for assigning secondary information (like the color name) to display on the palette main page. Great app!

I wanted to like this app but was very disappointed to discover that the iOS version for my iPhone and my iPad won’t allow you to pick a picture to create a color palette I thought perhaps I didn’t understand how to use the app so I looked at the tutorials once more but there was nothing there to instruct me on how to do this with the app on my iPad Pro or my iPhone. I requested help from their customer support but never received a reply. So much for customer service! Well, I feel cheated. I wish I had never purchased this app. If I need to use a color palette generator from within a browser I might as well use Paletton. it’s so much better it’s totally superior.

Makes me an expert! ;-)

I was looking for away to play around with color swatches for design work and this app is amazing! Exactly what I needed!

This app used to be perfect. Now it has become unusable. Where before you could save palettes without any friction whatsoever, the app now (1) requires you to create an account, (2) logs you out constantly, and (3, infuriatingly) makes you name every single palette. So what used to be a single tap has become a whole song and dance if you’re not logged in, and even if you give in and create an account, it’s STILL a song and dance. It has a tiny x to delete and asks for confirmation, instead of using a swipe to show a delete option without a confirmation, which also increases friction. And syncing (unnecessarily, from my point of view) makes everything so much slower than it was. It would have been possible to add syncing async, and only for people who actually wanted it. It also nags you to rate it. So I am. I wish I could give this app negative stars.

Love this! I use Pantone and Color-Aid cards to plan my color palettes for my photography and this app is amazing for mobile brainstorming and trying combos you wouldn’t normally pair together (also a fun visual ‘game’ if you’re into that). A necessary app for any creative. I will say, my ONE caveat (thus far) is I wish you could choose how many colors you’d like in your palette. A few more customizable options like that would make this app perfect.

After 10 minutes using the web app and iOS app, I'm hooked. This will be a giro tool in my arsenal.

Easy and simple. No problems. I can see where folks might balk at needing to have an account, but I now have the app on my phone and iPad and can access via web on my Mac and my pallets are synced across all devices, so for me it's worth it to create an account. Well done.

The app won't let me register. At all. Bummer.

I can't stop generating palettes!

Coolors can't do everything other more fully-featured palette generators can do. On the other hand, I've been happier with the palette I've gotten using this tool than any other. And you can't beat the ease of use. Recommended!

I enjoy this app.... Setting up an account took about 1 minute and is not a bother if you want to save your palettes. I feel my palettes are easily accessible and I can switch between my palettes and those of others very smoothly. Helps me a lot with painting and journaling.

The app is dead simple and does exactly what is says. Gives you five unique colors that go together in a schema, I very much like it!

What a find! This is exactly what I have been looking for. It instantly generates and shows millions of beautiful palettes. I am awed by the world-class design of this app. It is so great that Apple could have made it.

Just works well. Would be nice if we could restrict the number of colors.

This powerful little tool is any graphic/web designers best friend. At such a cheap price there is no reason you shouldn't buy this.

It is very easy to use, App design is perfect

It's easy for me to get intimidated by color palettes, but this app makes it painless to put together a few options for clients in minutes. Huge timesaver.

Terrific app!

I am terrible at coming up with color palettes that look nice together. This really helps! I recommend it 100%

What a nice little app!! I found it to be very intuitive to use & it was very helpful in getting me out of color rut with my designs.

I'm bad at picking colors, (which I have to do frequently since I'm a graphic designer), so this lets me flip through pre-made colors quickly to find matching ones. I love the design and functionality of the app. Great for my phone, and will probably be used more than my Google Chrome tab extension for choosing color schemes that I have on my laptop.

Great for making characters and O.C.s though it may be great if you guys learned some tips on colouring.

I am an esthetically challenged indie developer. I love that this app helps me choose appealing palettes for my apps.

Super clean and streamline

after stumbling upon the website and really liking it, i was excited to learn this was an app! i was a little confused on how to use it at first but it's actually simple. i love how you can edit the palettes and lock certain colors to get a more desirable palette. the saving feature is a bit buggy in my experience but so handy. my favorite feature has to be showing the hex codes since i'm an artist developing my own website. overall i like and recommend this app and the website!

This app is amazing! It's so easy and exciting to make color pallets, very helpful when seeing clients!

I'm a full-time designer and I've tried many apps similar before to attempt to get a quick palette for a project. But this is definitely the quickest and most visually appealing one there is. I'll recommend.

Coolors is an excellent tool to have in the arsenal. Whenever I need a push for inspiration, the randomly generated palettes helps give me some ideas to mix it up.

Exactly what I needed. Been looking for a palette generator like this for a long time, and it's nice I can use it across platforms.

As a graphic designer, starting the day in a creative way, is imperative. Ripping through some Coolors color schemes is my visual caffeine, and within minutes, the inspiration is pulling me to my office!

Whenever I want to draw something but can't think of what to draw, coming up with random colors is the best way to start drawing! This app makes it so easy to get a color pallet! The only thing that I don't like is that the website is free but the app costs two bucks. But I guess you have to make your money somehow.

I like the different color combos and being able to save them. The main reason I downloaded was so that I could create palettes from my saved images. Unless I’m doing it wrong, I’m not able to do it.

Simple minimal app that does one job really well. In post Adobe Kuler world, this is the easiest app to create color schemes and save them. I love having a library of color schemes in my phone ready to go as I design. I can easily reference them or create a new color scheme for motion graphics whenever needed. Love the app, I would enjoy seeing some more tools included like a take a picture and it pulls out the colors to make a scheme, but there are other apps for that. For any designer, this app is a no brainer.

I have worked with color palettes for years and have never found something so useful that allows me the flexibility to pick colors at the tips of my fingers. Great job!

;)

This is by far my favorite color application. I use it for everything, and I have the add-on in my Adobe CC account. It's so simple, versatile, and well-worth the investment!

Love this app, truly do. I am terrible at choosing colors that go well together and this is fantastic at helping with this. My only qualm with this app is that you can’t choose how many colors you want for your scheme. That’s it.

I just love this app! It's easy to use and anyone of all artistic levels can use it! Totally download it if you do digital art!

I have had to reset my password so many times to get into this app! So frustrating.

Easy to use and no ads.

Fantastiche!

Love this app for inspiration! Love that everyone shares there combinations.

I use this app both for personal artwork and when I'm in need of inspiration for color schemes for websites. An absolute must for anyone looking to understand color!

This is a great app for artists who want a challenge by taking random good looking colors and making a drawing of something with those colors! This is also great if you need help with color pallets for characters, this app really helped me try different colors and styles! I recommend this app to anyone who loves drawing! ✏️

I love this app so much. I'm an artist and am constantly trying to challenge myself with making my own interesting palettes, and I've finally found the perfect app for that. It's simple and easy to use, and unlike other apps with similar (or worse) features, it's free!!! Very thankful to have this as a resource. I highly recommend this app! From complementing tones to skin tones to making a statement- this app is good for anything!

Super easy to use and exactly what I was looking for.

This is a handy tool if you need help brainstorming some new options

If you have better things to do that wait on faulty tech and / or if you have any confidence in your sense of color at all, don't waste your money or your time. I loaded the app last night, watched it try to log in for a few minutes, and left it running all night long. It still has not connected. Whether I like the color combinations or not seems superfluous given that I can't save even one set of them. But if you're seriously considering this app, I find them to be repetitive. One set of colors is just a mild variance to the next, which might be good for a newbie who wants to sift through a parade of colors that vary slightly with each press of the button, but not a professional designer looking for more engaging / stimulating variety. Also, I've seen no metallics, textures / basic textiles, or different sheens, and there's no way I've found to request them--just one flat color after another and most of them are muted. If this app were free, I would be more understanding. But it's not, so I'm not.

trust me 10/10 would recommend you will not regret 👌🏼 and you definitely won't be bored ever again (also great for inspiration; not just for art, but for writing too✨)

I love this app so much. It's become my go-to app for creating color pallets for my OC's. It's well designed, simple, elegant, and incredibly fun to play around with. My only complaint is that I got an account, but EVERY TIME I exit the app, it logs me out of my account!

MThis app worked well for a short time before I was unable to lock colors and to arrange the color bars even after deleting and reloading the application. Will wait for a revise.

This is one of the best design apps ever! It's not just a necessary tool for designers it's also a complete joy to use every time I use it. It is beautiful, clean, snappy and so simple and intuitive to use that the included tutorial seems kind of silly. I don't know who designed this but cheers to you whoever you are! Apple should hire these designers to lead the iOS design team because it feels like what iOS aspires to be. I'm not exaggerating.

Awesome app. Simple, clean, easy to use, and beautiful. I would love a feature that allows me to add or subtract the number of colors in my palette. Sometimes I want just one more or one less color.

Works really fast & easy. Just nice!

In apps that are not free I cannot abide developer's insistence that I sign up and log in to have basic functionality. In this app it is not possible to "Save a palette" without registering. Ridiculous!

I love this app since it can sometimes be so hard to come up with your own color palettes. I'm only giving 5 stars because i had a big problem making an account using the app. I had to use my computer browser to do it. Also, i wish there was an option to make a palette of more than 5 colors. Other than that, an amazing app, i definitely recommend to creators of all mediums :)

I have been using it for 5 min and had to write a review! A great app so far. I had a hard time finding color coordinating app, there are lot of color matching apps out there, but not apps that show you complimentary colors to the primary color of your choice. So far it seems like a great tool, since you can keep generating new color schemes until you find what you like and then save it. We just moved to a new house, painted each room different color, so this will be great help with coordinating colors of the furniture, bedding, curtains, showers curtains etc. Looking forward to using this further!

I love it, it's honestly such a helpful tool. Whether for art projects or even home design I think.

The more colors the merrier! This app helps me with my art and character design. I was hesitating to pay $2 for it, but it turns out I was ok with it in the end lol maybe add more options though? Get funky with t!!

This app is great. As an architecture and art student, I use this app all the time to quickly look for color schemes that I know will be successful in a design or composition. I wish there was a setting where you can set the scheme to pick out colors based on whether or not you want analogous, split complimentary, complimentary, triadic, tetradic, etc. that would be super helpful!

I've was using this app for exactly 3 seconds when I was prompted for a rating. Another 30 seconds and I am asked again. It is bad enough that a paid app forces you to immediately register to use the app, but the obnoxious ratings badgering earns this a one star.

I have a few Hue bulbs and could never find the right colors for the mood I was in. This app makes it super convenient to create a palette or find another user-created one that fits what you had in mind. I run the palette through an animation app to create some real atmosphere.

This app is so clean and well built. The UI is perfect and clean as is the UX. But the real kicker is the features. My favorite being the lock and multi lock. Perfect for creating tangential palettes for accents and such while still meshing with the base palette. The web app is even better. Kudos to the team of designers and devs that built this. Really well done. One consideration would be example content like generated using the current palette to help visualize. Not needed. But a cool thought!

Great app but needs to be updated for iPhone X. Also they should really include a color wheel so you can choose how it finds new color combos. Still, it's a great app.
