About accessiblepalette
Accessible Palette is a color tool for building color systems with consistent lightness and WCAG contrast ratios. You set starting colors with L, C, and H values, then add or remove colors to shape a palette. Each lightness step from 50 to 900 shows a hex code, its L, C, and H values, and WCAG 2 and WCAG 3 contrast figures. It uses CIELAB and LCh color models and suits people who start from brand colors and need to check contrast.
Pricing is not clearly stated.
