What Material Design Color Generator is

Material Design Color Generator is a free web tool for generating color palettes for Material Design and moving palettes into supported frameworks and toolkits. Its listed targets include Android XML, AngularJS Material, AngularJS 2 Material, Ember Paper, Material Design Lite, Material UI, Material UI Next, Vue.js Material Design and Flutter; MCG Reimport is also listed as an import and export option. Users can choose among Traditional, Constantin and Buckner algorithms. Traditional is the default and produces lower contrast, Constantin produces higher contrast, and Buckner is a Constantin variation focused on A100–A700 hues. The listed export formats are Android XML and SCSS, and accessibility checks are available. The project is open source under the MIT license, with a listed price of no cost. Its README recommends importing code generated by the tool because code from other sources may work unreliably. The interface does not support more than five palettes; primary and secondary palette identification, drag-and-drop ordering and per-color reset buttons are listed as planned enhancements.
