QR Code Colors: Pick Branded Color Combos Safely

Ditch plain black and white. Explore standard color guidelines, contrast safety, and linear gradients that maintain scannability.

Adding visual pop to your codes

Custom colors make your QR codes look professional and branded. Apply dynamic gradients that flow horizontally or radially to give your code a high-end neon or metallic feel.

The high contrast standard

Always verify the contrast safety badge inside our tool. Dark foreground colors (navy, emerald, violet, black) on light backgrounds (white, cream, silver) is the recommended standard.
