Huevex vs Atmos: building scales by hand, or from one palette

Atmos is built for UI designers and makes it pleasant to build a palette and its shade scales. Huevex starts from the same audience and takes the scale out of your hands: score the palette first, then generate the whole system from it.

Common questions

Can I use both?
Yes. Palettes copy as hex values, so a starting point from either tool can be scored and turned into a system in Huevex.
Is Huevex free?
Explorer is free with no time limit: 2 generation credits a day, unlimited browsing, palette scoring and the HEX export. There is no trial that expires.
What does Huevex do that Atmos does not?
Score the palette on six measures before you build on it, and generate the whole color system from one palette, including semantic status colors, hover states and dark-mode tokens.
