v3.0.0

October 2026

A New Tinta: Search Everything, My Library & a Smarter Studio

The biggest Tinta update yet. A redesigned home page and galleries, search from anywhere, a proper library for everything you make and save, mesh gradient submissions, and a Color Studio you can drive from the keyboard.

  • Search everything from any page — press ⌘K (Ctrl+K) or "/" to find palettes, gradients, mesh gradients and color groups, or paste a hex code to build a palette from it
  • Hover (or tap) any stripe on a palette card to see its hex code, and click to copy it — no more selecting a card first
  • Every card has a quick export menu: HEX codes, CSS variables, Tailwind v4 or CSS in one click
  • Galleries can now be filtered by color and tone, sorted, and shared — every filter lives in the link
  • New "Surprise me" button jumps to a random palette, gradient or mesh
  • Detail pages redesigned: tap any swatch to copy it, with RGB and HSL right on the swatch
  • New export panel with CSS variables, Tailwind v4, Tailwind v3, SCSS and JSON, plus SVG and PNG downloads and Copy for Figma
  • New contrast matrix shows every text-on-background combination with its WCAG grade
  • New color blindness check simulates protanopia, deuteranopia, tritanopia and monochromacy, and warns when two colors become hard to tell apart
  • Change a gradient's angle right on its page — the preview and every export update with it
  • Every palette, gradient and mesh now has its own share image, so links show the actual colors
  • Color Studio: press Space to generate, lock any color (or press 1–5) to keep it, and undo with ⌘Z
  • Color Studio: your palette is always in the address bar, so copying the link shares exactly what you see
  • Color Studio: new Export dialog with code, contrast and color blindness checks
  • Color Studio: on phones the palette now shows above the preview
  • My library replaces the dashboard — your palettes, gradients, mesh gradients and saved palettes in one place, with edit, submit, withdraw and delete for all of them
  • You can now submit mesh gradients (they were previously saved as plain gradients by mistake) and choose a gradient's angle when you submit it
  • Gradient submissions save again — they had been failing
  • Reviewer notes on rejected items are shown right on the card
  • New footer with links to every section, and a friendlier page-not-found screen with search
  • A new look for the Tinta icon, plus app icons for your home screen
  • Fonts now load from Tinta itself instead of Google, which is faster and more private
  • Accessibility improvements across the site: better contrast, larger touch targets, and labels on every control
  • Search engines and AI assistants now see every gradient and mesh gradient (many were missing before)
v2.3.0

August 2026

Color Harmony, Browse by Color & a Much Faster Tinta

Color Studio can now build a whole palette from a single color using classic harmony rules. Every palette, gradient, and mesh is browsable by hue and tone, bookmarking finally works from the gallery, and the entire site loads far faster than before.

  • Color Studio now builds palettes for you — pick a base color, choose Analogous, Complementary, Split, Triadic, Tetradic, or Mono, and the rest of the palette is worked out from it
  • Change your first swatch and the whole harmony updates around it as you type
  • New Browse by Color section — every palette, gradient, and mesh grouped by the hues it contains (blue, orange, pink, and more) and by its overall tone: pastel, dark, vibrant, muted, warm, cool, or neutral
  • New Browse by Tag section, and tags on any detail page are now clickable
  • Bookmarking works at last — tap the bookmark icon on any palette card, or the Bookmark button on a palette page, and find it all on your Profile
  • Every palette, gradient, and mesh page now suggests related sets that share its colors
  • New color values table on every detail page — hex, RGB, HSL, and contrast against white and black, all in one place
  • Searching now updates the address bar, so you can bookmark a search or send someone a link straight to your results
  • Pages load dramatically faster — the site is roughly seven times lighter to download than before
  • Palettes and gradients now show up properly in search engines and AI assistants, which previously saw a blank loading screen
  • New About page covering what Tinta is, where the colors come from, and how freely you can use them
  • Breadcrumbs on every detail page so you always know where you are
  • Text across the site is darker and noticeably easier to read
  • On phones, the top bar stays put while you scroll instead of sliding over the search box
  • The landing page no longer gets cut off on smaller phones
  • Submitted gradients are now reviewed alongside palettes — previously they waited indefinitely
  • Profile pictures now save properly instead of reverting after a refresh
  • Deleting a palette from your Dashboard now asks you to confirm first
v2.2.0

  • Color Studio: switch the preview between Desktop and Mobile with a new device toggle
  • Color Studio: on phones, the color and font controls now slide up as a bottom sheet from a floating "Customize" button

  • Sidebar, galleries, and detail pages redesigned to work properly on small phones
