Design · 3 min read

Palette AI, a startup offering automated color palette generation with accessibility audits, raised $25 million led by Inclusive Capital. The funding will accelerate integrations with Figma, Sketch, and newer tools, and expand Palette’s rule engine to support WCAG 3.0 and industry-specific color contrast standards.

The product uses AI to propose palettes that maintain brand tone while ensuring legibility across devices and impairment types; it provides simulated previews for various vision conditions and platform contexts. The company says its enterprise tier includes audit trails, accessibility certification packs, and developer-ready tokens for seamless handoff.

Palette AI’s founder, Hana Park, said the company will invest in building a design-system compliance layer to help large organizations scale inclusive design. Early customers include a national healthcare provider and multiple government UX teams that need repeatable accessibility documentation.
