Flat Colors reference

Is there any website for flat design colors reference? I know http://www.flatui.com but it's a little limited.

I love Treehouse UI, it's everything so flat! hehe

Thanks!

Hi Henrique,

There's plenty of palettes out there for all sorts of needs, i' s a case of googling round and having a play. I used to collect a few but here's one I found after a quick google search of "css flat colours reference"

http://htmlcolorcodes.com/

Good luck. :-)

You can use any colors for flat design. As long as you limit your colors and use different variations of tints sourcing the same color, and don't use any colors with opacity. If you follow that, then when you embed them as SVG, you won't see any errors : )

Hey Henrique,

As Jonathan Grieve said there are plenty of palettes out there. There are no specific colours for flat design. Flat UI is just a small selection of the most common colours used in Flat design. I really enjoy playing with palettes from http://colorhunt.co/ in my projects.

Good luck!
