PaletteKit raises $10M seed to automate color accessibility across products

Design · 3 min read

PaletteKit, a startup focused on color systems and accessibility automation, announced a $10 million seed round led by Spectrum Ventures. The platform uses perceptual color models and WCAG-aware algorithms to generate palettes, create token maps, and suggest accessible alternates under varied lighting conditions.

PaletteKit integrates with design tools and build pipelines to automatically swap or flag non-compliant color combinations. It also provides dynamic theming that adapts contrast and saturation for device settings like night modes or high-ambient-light conditions.

Design teams in finance and healthcare are trialing PaletteKit to reduce manual accessibility audits and maintain brand vibrancy. The company plans SDKs for runtime theming and an analytics dashboard to monitor accessibility compliance across product versions.
