Color your world with Adobe Express.
Colors, like music, symbols, or words, are rich with meaning. And when colors are paired together, the meaning can change entirely. As you get started with a design, think about what colors might be important. Are you creating a design for a brand that already has a selected color scheme? Are you creating something seasonal, celebratory, or sophisticated? Once you have a rough idea, open the Color menu to start building your color palette.

Frequently asked questions.
How do I choose a color palette?
While in your Adobe Express workspace, launch the Theme menu to open a wide collection of color palette options. We automatically generate a starting palette for you based on your design, or you can explore preset palettes. Search any keyword to find palettes that match your ideal theme.
Why is a color palette important in design?
Communication is a part of design. Colors and different color combinations communicate certain types of moods, feelings, or messaging. Use this to your advantage by selecting the colors in your design with intention.
What are some tips to generate color palettes?
Using the Color Theme menu, you can generate a color palette in a few different ways. First, use our auto-generated color palette based on your design. You can edit that to fine-tune your palette to your liking. You can also create a color palette entirely from scratch. Search for professionally curated color palettes using our library of options. Generated by Adobe Color, you can get started even quicker with categories like Bold, Pastel, and Retro.
What are the different types of color palettes?
One type of color palette is monochromatic, which means having different shades of the same color. For example, a combination of lavender, purple, and rich plum would be monochromatic. An analogous color palette is where all the colors are next to each other, and they all have the same shade — like a rainbow of pastels. Complementary is a color palette that includes pairs of colors that are on opposite sides of the color wheel, like red and green.
