Designer quality, personal taste

Hueflake creates themes that are readable, balanced, and just look great out of the box. And you can customize everything to your taste.

Optimized for usability

Enjoy meticulously-tuned contrast and hues by default. Color science lets you customize it while keeping it beautiful.

State-of-the-art color science

Human color vision is complicated and hard to design for. Hueflake uses sophisticated color appearance models and algorithms to model colors exactly how you see them.

Just-right contrast

Too much or not enough contrast causes eye strain. Hueflake strikes a balance by default and keeps it consistent throughout your code. Selective emphasis helps you focus on important parts of code.

Distinct hues

Hueflake uses color theory to pick distinct hues that work well with each other, so you can easily distinguish parts of code. For even more clarity, you can use distinct contrast and colorfulness.

Balanced details

Focus on making your perfect theme and let Hueflake take care of the details.

Balanced colors

Some colors are more vivid than others. Hueflake carefully balances chosen colors to make your theme coherent.

Seamless light/dark variants

We see contrast differently in light and dark modes. Hueflake compensates for this, so your theme feels the same no matter the time of day.

Semantic colors

Hueflake preserves colors with implied meanings, such as red for errors, and blends them into your theme. Or choose more flexibility for an immersive theme.

Consistent design system

With a design system under-the-hood, Hueflake’s themes are consistent across apps while having colors for each specific UI element.
