Terms of Use

The service

Color Next provides free online color tools. They are offered “as is” and “as available”. Features may change, be improved or be removed at any time without notice.

Color results

Each tool's page explains how its result is calculated and what its limits are. Colors are worked out in the sRGB space used by the web, and they look different on different screens, in different light and in print. The CMYK values are an approximation without a color profile. The color-blindness preview is a model and not a diagnosis, and a passing contrast ratio is a minimum, not a guarantee that something is accessible. Check the results that matter on the devices and materials where they will be used, and do not rely on them alone for decisions in which an error could cause serious harm, such as a legal accessibility claim or a print run.

Your pictures, your colors and your responsibility

What you choose or type remains yours. Because pictures and colors are handled in your browser and not sent to us, we do not receive them or claim any rights in them. You are responsible for having the right to use the pictures you open, for keeping your own copies of anything you need, and for what you do with a shared link, which contains the colors of the palette it was made from.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• use the site for anything unlawful;
• interfere with or disrupt the site or its hosting, for example by sending automated traffic that burdens it;
• attempt to gain unauthorised access to the site’s systems;
• copy the site’s content or design and present it as your own.

Advertising and third parties

The site may be supported by advertising provided by third parties. We are not responsible for the content of advertisements or for the practices of advertisers. See the Privacy Policy for how advertising may affect your data.

Intellectual property

The site’s name, design, text and software are protected by copyright and other laws. You may use the tools freely, including for commercial work, and the palettes, gradients and values they give you are yours to use. You may not reproduce the site itself.

Disclaimer and limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we make no warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose and uninterrupted or error-free operation, and we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or inability to use, the site or a result calculated with it. Nothing in these terms limits any liability that cannot be limited by law.

Changes and contact

We may update these terms; the “Last updated” date above shows the latest version, and continued use means you accept the changes. Questions can be sent through the contact page.
