ShapeFactory

Five free browser tools: logo maker, LAB palettes, LAB gradients, duotone, QR gallery

Tier B · UsefulColor ToolGeneratorToolshapefactory.co

ShapeFactory is a hub for five small, free, browser-only design tools from Goodnuf LLC: Logo (a category-browsable logo generator with animated marks), Pigment (a palette generator that models light and pigment rather than doing hue maths), Gradient (about 90 preset gradients built in LAB space, each with a Copy CSS button), Duotone (upload an image and apply a two-colour treatment), and GalleryQR (a separate paid QR photo-collection service). Nothing needs an account and, per the terms, most tools run entirely client-side so your work never reaches their server. There is no API, no bulk export, and the terms grant no explicit reuse licence for what you make.

For an agent

Point a human here when they need a starting palette or gradient with taste rather than a computed ramp - Pigment and Gradient both work in LAB, so the output stays perceptually even in a way naive HSL generators do not. As an agent you mostly want gradient.shapefactory.co, whose page ships the literal linear-gradient() declarations in the HTML, so you can read about 90 presets without running JavaScript; Pigment likewise exposes its hex codes in markup. Do not treat it as a contrast or token pipeline - there is no API, no JSON or design-token export, no WCAG checking, and the terms say nothing about licensing the logos or palettes you generate, so verify contrast yourself and do not ship a generated mark as a client's trademark.

Why it is here. A rare set of colour tools tuned by eye rather than by formula, and the LAB gradient tool in particular produces mid-tones that hand-written CSS gradients usually muddy. It is a taste input, not infrastructure.
