HanoDecor Color Palette Generator vs Perception

HanoDecor Color Palette Generator is a web tool that uses AI to create palettes from uploaded photos, hex codes, or a described mood. It can extract dominant colors from images of rooms, nature, or artwork, then produce palettes of 3–12 colors. Users can choose complementary, analogous, triadic, split-complementary, or tetradic harmony rules and fine-tune individual swatches. AI room previews show palettes on room photos. Exports include hex codes, RGB values, CSS variables, and shareable images. The tool also checks WCAG contrast compliance across color pairings. HanoDecor identifies homeowners, interior designers, real estate professionals, and brand and web designers as intended users. The tool page describes the generator as free to use and says no download is needed. It advertises a seven-day free trial, while the pricing page lists a three-day trial for Starter and seven days for Pro. Starter costs $19 a month billed yearly ($228/year); Pro costs $29 a month billed yearly ($348/year). HanoDecor says uploaded photos are not shared, sold, or used to train AI models without explicit consent.

Perception is a web-based design intelligence product for exploring color choices through mood and palette tools. Perception Studio uses generative AI, color psychology and PaletteRank technology to suggest palettes from emotions. Users can request recommendations, add their own colors, inspect a palette’s mood, and copy or download color codes. The Palette Validator assesses existing combinations against perceived moods, while the Palette Dictionary supports searches by term or color. Studio subscribers can access a library of more than 50 million AI-generated palettes. Image color extraction is listed for Lite, Studio and Enterprise, and Adobe tools are the listed export destination. The free Lite plan allows three AI-generated palettes at a time, up to three colors per palette, and analysis of three top related moods. Studio costs $14 / month per member and allows nine generated palettes at a time, up to seven colors, analysis of all related moods, teams of up to 10 users, and unlimited favorites and bookmarks. The homepage says three palettes can be created for free without signing up. Enterprise pricing is by contacting sales.
