What a spectrum strip is good for

01

A full turn of the wheel

The ramp runs through every hue at full saturation and lands back on red, so there is no visible seam if you tile it or wrap it. That closure is why it is built from thirteen stops rather than twelve.

02

Wide and short by default

The default is 1200 by 200 because a spectrum is almost always wanted as a strip rather than a block — a legend, a picker track, a decorative rule. Change the height if you need a full-bleed background.

03

The angle rotates the ramp

Zero runs left to right, which is what a horizontal picker or legend wants. Ninety runs top to bottom for a vertical track.

04

Not a data visualisation palette

A rainbow ramp is a poor choice for encoding values: it is not perceptually uniform, so equal steps in the data look like unequal steps in colour, and it fails for colour-blind readers. Use it as decoration or as a hue picker, not as a scale on a chart.

05

Lossless PNG

The transitions stay smooth. A JPG would put compression blocks straight across the gradient, which is where they are most obvious.

Using a spectrum well

Not for encoding data

Rainbow ramps distort the values they display and exclude colour-blind readers. Keep them decorative or use them as a hue picker.

It tiles seamlessly

The ramp closes back on red, so you can repeat it horizontally without a visible join.

Strip, not a block

The common use is a legend or picker track, which is why the default is wide and short.

How to generate a colour spectrum

1

Set the angle

Zero for a horizontal strip, ninety for a vertical one.

2

Set the size

1200 by 200 suits a legend or picker track. Raise the height for a background.

What people use it for

The jobs the editor was built around — and what it does differently on each one.

Colourways you can revisit

Every edit is a layer, not a bake. When the brand shifts, reopen the file and change the colour rather than rebuilding the variant from the original.

Cutouts with awkward edges

AI background removal that keeps hair, foliage and soft shadows instead of stamping a hard outline around them. The output is a transparent PNG, ready to place.

No export, edit, re-import loop

The Framer plugin runs on the canvas you are already working in, so a recolour or a cutout does not mean a round trip through a second application.

Ten options in the time one used to take

Recolour once and step through the alternatives, so a client review can look at the whole range instead of the one version there was time to make.

Brand colours matched exactly

Pick a colour straight off an existing asset and get the hex, rather than eyeballing it against a screenshot and hoping it is close enough.

Free to preview, priced per export

Previewing is unlimited and costs nothing. A credit is spent only when you download a full-resolution file, so exploring an idea is never the expensive part.
