AI schemesGenerate a balanced five-role palette — Primary, Secondary, Complementary, Accent, Background — in one move. And with your own AI — a Claude or ChatGPT key, or a local model — describe the brand in a sentence and get a scheme designed and named for it.
Most generators hand you five pretty colors with no jobs. Pocket CVI assigns each one a role, so you know which drives the brand, which supports it and which is just an accent. That's the difference between a mood board and a usable palette.
Kicking off a new identity, refreshing a tired one, or filling a gap in an existing kit — the generator gives you a structured starting point in seconds. Tweak from there and drop it straight into a brand sheet.
With your own AI back-end connected — a Claude or ChatGPT key, or a self-hosted model — the generator takes a written brief — “warm, Scandinavian, for a bakery” — and designs a named five-role palette around your base color, legibility included. No key? The local generator keeps working exactly as before; the ✨ sparkle just shows what a key would add.
Unnamed colors in a kit can be named in one AI batch — short, evocative, brand-aware names that never repeat, generated on the fast (cheapest) model. Turn it on for the Clipboard collection and colors you copy anywhere on your Mac arrive already named.
Five: Primary, Secondary, Complementary, Accent and Background. Each color arrives with a defined job rather than as an unlabeled swatch.
No. AI scheme generation needs a connection. The rest of Pocket CVI works offline, apart from iCloud sync.
The five-role generator is local, free, and works offline. Pro plus an AI back-end — a Claude or ChatGPT key, or your own local model — adds palettes designed from a written brief and AI color naming. On a cloud key that's cents per request; on a self-hosted model it's free.
