Experienced designers choose colors intuitively. Many people can just sense which colors go together well and which don't. However, finding the best combination of colors may be sometimes long and gruelling work.

Color theory makes the work easier. This tool will find sets of colors you can start with and allow you to tune your choices for a more optimal color palette.
