Mood Palette

Colours and emotions chart

Twelve moods, each with five colours and about twenty songs. Every palette below is the one the app themes itself with when you pick that mood, so what you see here is what you get.

Colour and feeling do not map one to one, and anyone selling you a strict chart is overstating it. What is reliable is narrower: cool and desaturated reads as settled, warm and bright reads as lively, and low contrast reads as quiet. These twelve palettes are built on that, then checked against the music that shares the same shape.

How to use it

Open any mood for the full palette with copyable hex codes, the reasoning behind it, and the artists we pull from. Or open the app, pick how you feel, and get the colours and a playlist together. It is free and works without an account.
