Coolors
This color-picking tool makes it easy to generate color palettes for your web design project. One press of the space bar in their color generator app, gives you 5 colors for your color scheme.

Once you lock in all your colors, you can copy the hex codes or save them as favorites. Coolors is available as both a website and an app.
