Effective: July 16, 2026 · Last updated: July 17, 2026
The short version
- ✓ Everything is free to use, with no account.
- ✓ Colors, palettes, and code you generate are yours — commercial use, no attribution needed.
- ✓ Brand names and trademarks belong to their owners; we only document public color values.
- ✓ Don't abuse or disrupt the site — that's essentially the only rule.
- ✓ The service is provided as-is; verify critical values before you ship them.
Using Kolorvia
Kolorvia's browser-based color tools — the converters, palette generator, gradient builder, contrast checker, and the rest — along with the color pages and guides, are free to use with no account required. By using the site you accept these terms; if you don't agree with them, the remedy is simple: don't use the site.
What you create is yours
Any color value, palette, gradient, code snippet, or exported file you generate with our tools is yours to use however you like — personal or commercial projects, client work, products for sale — with no attribution required. Color values themselves aren't something we could claim ownership of, and we wouldn't want to: uncertainty about this is exactly what these terms exist to remove.
Acceptable use
There's essentially one rule: don't harm the service or other people's use of it. That means no attempting to disrupt or overload the site, no probing for security vulnerabilities outside of a good-faith report (which we welcome via the contact page), no bulk scraping at a rate that degrades the site for others, and no using the contact form to send spam or abuse. Reasonable automated access — like a crawler respecting our robots.txt — is fine.
Intellectual property
Three different things, three different owners. The Kolorvia website itself — its design, branding, original guides, and code — belongs to us and is protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. The values you generate with the tools belong to you, as described above. And third-party names and marks that appear in reference content belong to their respective owners, as described next.
Brand color pages
Some pages document publicly known brand color values (for example, a company's official hex codes) for reference, education, and design accuracy. Brand names, logos, and trademarks remain the property of their respective owners; Kolorvia provides this publicly available color information for reference purposes only and is not affiliated with or endorsed by any of those companies. Using another company's brand identity in your own commercial work may require separate permission from that company.
No warranty
Kolorvia is provided “as is.” While every conversion and accessibility calculation is covered by automated tests, we can't guarantee the service will be error-free or uninterrupted. For decisions with real consequences — a WCAG compliance sign-off, a print run, a brand guideline — verify critical values independently before you ship.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Kolorvia and its operator are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of — or inability to use — this website, including decisions made based on its output. A free reference tool can't underwrite the projects it's used in.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms as the site grows. When we do, the “Last updated” date at the top of this page changes, and meaningful additions get their own clearly labeled section rather than being buried in existing text. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated terms.
