Terms & Conditions

1About See Colour

See Colour is a free, publicly accessible web tool providing:

• An archive and reference grid of accessible colour pairs meeting WCAG 2.1 AAA contrast standards (7.0:1 ratio or above)
• An interactive contrast ratio checker allowing users to test custom colour combinations
• Curated, downloadable colour palettes
• A colour matching and inspiration tool
• Automatically generated descriptive names for colour pairs

See Colour does not provide professional design, accessibility compliance, or legal advice. The tools are provided for reference and inspiration purposes only.

2Eligibility and Use

By using See Colour, you confirm that:

• You are at least 18 years old, or are using the site under the supervision of a parent or guardian
• You will use the site only for lawful purposes and in a manner consistent with these terms
• You will not attempt to disrupt, damage, or gain unauthorised access to any part of the site or its underlying systems

3Free Tools and Features

The core tools on See Colour — including the contrast checker, archive grid, and colour pairing tool — are provided free of charge. We reserve the right to change, limit, or discontinue any free features at any time without notice.

4Paid Features: Palette Downloads

Your statutory rights as a UK consumer are not affected by these terms. The Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 provide a 14-day cooling-off period for digital content; however, by completing a purchase you expressly consent to immediate delivery and acknowledge you lose this right to cancel once the download begins.

5Colour Naming: Automatically Generated Names

However, given the volume of names generated, it is possible that a name used on this site may inadvertently conflict with a name that is owned or registered by another organisation.

If you believe a colour name used on this site infringes your intellectual property rights, please contact us (see Section 14) with the following information:

• Your name and contact details
• The specific colour name you believe infringes your rights
• Evidence of your ownership or registered rights in that name
• The URL or location of the name on our site

We will review your request and, if a valid claim is established, will remove or change the name promptly. We will not be liable for any loss arising from the inadvertent use of such names prior to notification.

Submitting a claim does not guarantee removal. We reserve the right to assess each claim on its merits and to seek independent advice where appropriate.

6Colour Sponsorship

• The right to name or rename a designated colour or colour pair
• Attribution displayed on the site for the duration of the sponsorship period
• Any additional benefits as agreed in writing at the time of sponsorship

Sponsorship does not grant ownership of any colour, colour code, or intellectual property. It is a display and attribution arrangement only.

• Be offensive, discriminatory, or contrary to public decency
• Infringe the intellectual property rights of a third party
• Be misleading or likely to cause confusion with an existing brand or product
• Contain explicit, adult, or otherwise inappropriate content

We may remove or amend a sponsor name at any time if we determine it breaches these requirements, without refund.

• The nominated charity must be a registered charity in the United Kingdom or an internationally recognised equivalent
• We will use reasonable endeavours to make the donation to the nominated charity, but we do not act as a regulated fundraiser or intermediary
• Any donation is made by us on behalf of the Sponsor and is not tax-deductible by the Sponsor unless they make the payment directly
• We will confirm the donation has been made upon request
• If a nominated charity is unable to receive funds (for example, if it has dissolved or is subject to regulatory action), we reserve the right to redirect the donation to a similar cause or hold the funds pending your instruction

See Colour is not a registered charity or fundraising platform. Charity donations made through sponsorship are discretionary goodwill arrangements and are not covered by Gift Aid or equivalent schemes unless separately arranged.

• Sponsorship is non-transferable
• Fees are payable in advance
• Sponsorship does not automatically renew
