16,383 PointsColor palette for mobile app
Hi,
is there any course on Treehouse about choosing colors for a mobile app? I don't know how to come up with colors but I need it for a presentable MVP. Are there any tools? I saw there is Adobe Kuler. Can this be used for this purpose?

I am not sure that there is a course for specifically choosing colors on a mobile app. I am not sure why that would be any different than choosing colors for, say, a web site. You need to understand color theory when choosing colors for anything!
This course here on Treehouse goes over some color theory https://teamtreehouse.com/library/aesthetic-foundations
As far as tool for creating a palette you have already mentioned one. A quick search in google for color palettes should bring up a lot of tools. Here are a couple.
- https://coolors.co/
- http://paletton.com/
- http://www.degraeve.com/color-palette/ This one will pull a color palette from an image.
- http://www.cssdrive.com another that builds from an image.
- https://color.adobe.com
- http://www.perbang.dk/color+scheme/ You give them a base or main color and they will build various palettes for you.
The last 2 are my favorites!
Hope this help!
