Your brand color palette, with every code one click away
Stop retyping hex codes from a screenshot. Melon Cut Guidelines shows your brand color palette as real swatches, each with its HEX, RGB and CMYK values and a Copy button, so whoever uses your colours - on screen or in print - gets them exactly right.

Brand color palette, step by step
Add your colours
In the Assets tab, add each colour to a colour library under a clear name - Primary green, Sand, Ink.
Show them in use
Place colour blocks in a Usage section next to the logos and type they go with. Gradients get a swatch of their own.
Publish and share
Press Save & publish. Anyone with the link sees the swatches and copies the value they need in one click.
Every value people ask for
Screens use HEX and RGB, print uses CMYK, and people mix them up when they copy from a PDF. Each colour in your guidelines shows all three side by side, each with its own Copy button, so nothing is retyped by hand.
- HEX for websites and design tools
- RGB for screens, video and presentations
- CMYK for print
- Gradients shown as a swatch of their own
Colours with roles, not just names
A palette says which colours you own; a system says how they work together. In the Systems tab, each look fills 10 colour slots: background, text and accent, featured and muted versions of each, and an icon colour. A designer then knows which green is for headings and which is a background.
The page wears your colours
Your guidelines page is drawn in your own brand colours and fonts, so the palette is seen in use, not only as squares. Change a colour and publish, and every swatch that shows it changes with it.
On-brand AI designs

What is a brand color palette?
It is the set of colours that belong to your brand - usually a few main colours and some supporting ones - each with exact values so it looks the same wherever it is used.
Why show HEX, RGB and CMYK?
Each medium uses a different one: HEX and RGB for screens, CMYK for print. Giving all three stops people converting by eye and ending up with a slightly different shade.
Can I add a gradient?
Yes. A gradient is shown as a swatch of its own, alongside your solid colours.

- Brand guidelines What is the difference between HEX, RGB and CMYK? RGB and HEX describe colours for screens, as mixes of red, green and blue light; HEX is simply RGB written as a six-character code, such as #FF5733. CMYK describes colours for print, as percentages of cyan, magenta, yellow and black ink. Use HEX or RGB for websites, apps and social media, and CMYK for anything printed.
- Brand guidelines What should brand guidelines include? Brand guidelines should include your logos and how to use them, your colour palette with exact codes, your fonts and type styles, the look of your imagery, and your voice and tone. Strong guidelines also hold the brand's foundation - mission, vision, values and audience - plus downloadable files, so people can act on the rules, not just read them.
