Prompt template

Generate a 5-color palette for:
[brief]

Return: hex codes, color names,
and a 2-sentence rationale.

Example briefs

“Cyberpunk coffee shop, neon glow, dark concrete, warm amber accents”
“Calm productivity app, soft pastels, minimal, trustworthy”
“Luxury skincare brand, cream, rose gold, sage green”

Sample output

#1A0A2E

#8B5CF6

#F472B6

#FBBF24

#111827

Deep violet base, electric violet primary, soft pink accent, warm amber highlight, near-black neutral. Balanced for dark-mode interfaces with high contrast ratios.

Tip: Include mood adjectives and a context (app, brand, poster) for best results. Avoid color names in the brief — let the engine interpret the feeling.
