Color Token Export Generator

Take one approved brand or accent color, then export role-based light and dark tokens as CSS variables, JSON, and a utility-map handoff.

This page is for implementation handoff. Use it after the palette direction is already acceptable and the next job is packaging it for code or documentation.

How to use

  1. Start with one approved base color, then choose a token prefix and an AA or AAA contrast goal.
  2. If you still want one quick UI sign-off before copy-paste handoff, open Color Token Preview first.
  3. If you want one last consistency check for duplicates, weak contrast pairs, or near-identical roles, run Color Token Audit before you export.
  4. Keep the dark export on when you need a two-mode handoff. Turn it off if you only need a light starter set.
  5. Copy the export format that matches your codebase or token document, then refine exact pairings later with Contrast Checker.

Move from role-based palette planning into code handoff

This page sits after Accessible Color Palette and before engineering handoff. It answers one narrower question: how should this palette leave the browser and enter CSS or token docs?

Build export-ready tokens after the palette direction is already acceptable.

How to choose between nearby pages
Use Color Palette or Color Harmony while the palette is still moving. Use Accessible Color Palette when the UI roles are still being assigned. Use Color Token Preview when those roles are mostly set and you want one quick browser-side sign-off before export. Use Color Token Audit after the preview when the remaining question is whether duplicate roles, near-matches, or contrast failures still need cleanup before handoff. Use Color Token Diff after Audit when the remaining question is how the next token set differs from the current one before rollout. Use Semantic Color Tokens when the role colors already look acceptable but the semantic naming still needs a product, docs, or marketing handoff layer before export. Use Component Color Tokens when those semantic names now need button, card, input, nav, or badge aliases before the final export. Use CSS Color Mix when the job is one implementation-ready mix expression, and OKLCH Converter when one approved color needs perceptual values. Use this page when the remaining task is handing the role-based palette to engineers or token documentation.

  
FAQ
What does this page export?
It exports a role-based light and optional dark palette as CSS variables, a JSON token object, and a Tailwind-like key map built from one approved base color.
When should I use this instead of Accessible Color Palette?
Use Accessible Color Palette when the role assignment itself is still changing. Use this page when the palette is already close enough and the next job is packaging it for code or documentation.
When should I use this instead of CSS Color Mix or OKLCH Converter?
Use CSS Color Mix when the main job is creating one production-ready mix expression from two colors. Use OKLCH Converter when one approved color needs perceptual values. Use this page when the next task is handing a whole role-based palette to engineers or token docs.
What is stored in the share URL?
The share URL stores the base color, token prefix, contrast goal, and whether dark-mode tokens are included.
