ColorMagic

About ColorMagic

ColorMagic provides a free API for searching color palettes. It exposes a single GET endpoint that accepts a search query parameter matched against palette tags and text, returning a JSON array of palettes, each with an id, a set of hex color values, associated tags, a name, a like count, a normalized hash, and a creation timestamp.

The API is documented as free to use but explicitly unversioned and unstable: the provider states it may be removed or changed at any time without warning, and advises using it at one's own risk.

ColorMagic itself is a broader color palette application that generates palettes and schemes from a name, image, hex code, word, or single color using AI, alongside other tools such as a color mixer and contrast checker. The API is one component of this wider product, suited for developers who want programmatic access to its palette search functionality.
