The Color API
Art & Design
Your fast, modern, swiss army knife for color. Pass in any valid color and get conversion into any other format, the name of the color, placeholder images and a multitude of schemes. There are only two endpoints you need to worry about, /id and /scheme, and you can read the docs about both. Each endpoint is available in JSON[P], HTML & SVG format. The SVG format can be saved or used as an img[src] attribute for super-easy embedding/sharing!

PickShade — common questions
Answered from what our own scheduled checks found, not from the provider's marketing.
Is PickShade free to use?
PickShade is listed in our free catalogue and required no credential when we called it. It needs no authentication at all, so you can send a request without signing up. Free tiers can still carry rate limits or non-commercial terms, so check the provider's own terms before shipping.
Does PickShade need an API key?
No. We called PickShade on our last run with no key, no token and no Authorization header, and it responded. That is what puts it in our no-key collection.
Can I call PickShade from browser JavaScript?
Yes. PickShade returned CORS headers when we checked it, so a browser will let your page read the response. You can fetch it directly from client-side JavaScript with no proxy and no backend.
Is PickShade available over HTTPS?
Yes. PickShade serves over HTTPS, so you can call it from a secure page without triggering a mixed-content block.
