When generating images, you can apply a color palette to guide the output:
  • On the Free plan, Recraft offers a rotating selection of preset palettes. These palettes are hand-picked and shuffled for variety and quick inspiration.
  • On a paid plan, you can create and save custom palettes, which can be applied to any image generation.
Palettes can be used with any image type: photorealistic, illustrated, vector, or icon. You can also apply a background color separately to control the image’s overall tone. To apply a palette, click the Color Palette icon near the prompt field. You can also explore randomized inspiration palettes from the “More” menu, useful for experimenting with color direction. Tip: The more complex your prompt or style, the harder it may be for the model to strictly adhere to limited palettes. Simpler prompts and styles tend to yield more accurate color matching.
