Pick foreground and background colors
A visually pleasing palette still needs readable text. Compare normal text, labels, and small interface controls against their backgrounds.
Independent software project / looklike
Give your interface a clearer look.
Looklike is a focused design utility for exploring how foreground and background colors work together. Preview a simple interface and compare text contrast before choosing a palette.
Free to use. Runs in your browser. No account required.
A focused workflow
Small tools. Useful results.
Compare the live preview and contrast ratio
Keyboard access, focus indicators, text size, meaningful labels, and layout also affect usability. A passing ratio does not cover those checks.
Bring the palette into your design
Use realistic headings and paragraphs when testing a palette. Short placeholder text can hide wrapping and spacing problems.
