THE DESIGN PLAYGROUND FOR REAL INTERFACES
Build a UI theme
that feels like you.
Find your colors. Pair your fonts. Try the whole thing on real layouts before you ship a single line of CSS.
THE WORKFLOW
From first color
to ready-to-use CSS.
Choose a direction, see it on a real interface, then take the finished theme with you.
- STEP 01 Choose colors and type. Find a palette, then pair it with a font that feels right.
- STEP 02 Preview it in context. Try your choices across complete interface layouts.
- STEP 03 Export code you can use. Copy CSS for DaisyUI, Tailwind CSS, or shadcn/ui.

A few good
questions.
What can I do with LiveTheme?
Choose theme colors and fonts, preview them on interface layouts, check color pairs with the separate contrast tool, and export CSS for common frontend workflows.
Can I use the exported theme in my project?
Yes. LiveTheme offers copyable output for DaisyUI, Tailwind CSS, and shadcn/ui. Review the generated variables in your own project before shipping.
Does a passing contrast check mean my UI is accessible?
No. A contrast result covers a color pair. It does not check keyboard access, labels, focus behavior, or every state in a complete interface.
READY WHEN YOU ARE
