Introduction
Creating a great design is not only about having creative ideas. Designers also need to make many small decisions that can affect the overall quality of a visual experience — from choosing the right color combination, adjusting spacing, selecting typography, to making sure every element looks balanced.
Sometimes, these decisions can take a lot of time, especially when designers need to manually compare different options or check whether a design follows basic visual principles.
To make the design process more efficient, Bencma provides a collection of practical design tools that help creators make faster and more accurate decisions. These tools are designed to support designers throughout their workflow, whether they are creating digital products, marketing visuals, social media content, or user interfaces.
Here are some of the essential tools available in Bencma that can help improve your design process.
Image Color Picker: Extract Colors from Any Visual
Finding the right color inspiration is often the first step in creating a design. Instead of guessing colors manually, the Image Color Picker helps designers identify colors directly from an image.
This tool allows users to analyze visual references and discover the colors that appear within them. It is useful when designers want to recreate a specific mood, build a brand identity, or create a consistent visual style.
For example, designers can upload a photo, illustration, or existing design and quickly find the main colors used in that visual.
Useful for:
Creating color references from images.
Developing brand color directions.
Finding inspiration for new designs.
Maintaining visual consistency.
Color Palette Generator: Build Harmonious Color Combinations
Choosing multiple colors that work well together can be challenging. A good color palette needs balance, contrast, and consistency.
The Color Palette Generator helps designers create color combinations without spending too much time testing different options manually.
Instead of randomly selecting colors, designers can explore palettes that create a stronger visual relationship between elements.
Useful for:
UI and website color systems.
Branding projects.
Illustration and graphic design.
Marketing materials.
A well-designed color palette can influence how users feel about a product and how easily they understand the information presented.
Gradient Generator: Create Modern Visual Effects
Gradients are widely used in modern design to add depth, movement, and visual interest. However, creating smooth gradient combinations requires careful color selection.
The Gradient Generator helps designers create gradient styles quickly by combining different colors into visually appealing transitions.
Useful for:
Background designs.
App interfaces.
Social media graphics.
Digital illustrations.
With the right gradient, a simple design element can become more dynamic and visually engaging.
Shade Generator: Explore Different Color Variations
A single color can create many different visual effects depending on its shade and intensity. The Shade Generator helps designers explore variations of a chosen color.
This makes it easier to create supporting colors for interfaces, illustrations, and branding systems.
Useful for:
Creating design systems.
Building button states.
Developing consistent UI components.
Adjusting visual contrast.
Having multiple shades of the same color helps designs feel more organized and professional.
Aspect Ratio Calculator: Maintain the Right Proportion
Different platforms require different image sizes and formats. A design that works well on one platform may not fit properly on another.
The Aspect Ratio Calculator helps designers maintain accurate proportions when resizing images or layouts.
Useful for:
Social media content.
Website banners.
Presentation materials.
Responsive design.
By maintaining the correct aspect ratio, designers can prevent stretched visuals and keep their designs looking professional across different platforms.
Color Blindness Simulator: Design for Accessibility
Accessibility is an important part of modern design. A design that looks clear to one person may appear differently to someone with color vision differences.
The Color Blindness Simulator allows designers to preview how their designs may appear to users with different types of color blindness.
Useful for:
Improving accessibility.
Testing color combinations.
Designing inclusive interfaces.
Avoiding unclear visual communication.
Designing with accessibility in mind helps create experiences that can be enjoyed by a wider audience.
Typography Scale: Create Better Text Structure
Typography plays a major role in readability and visual hierarchy. Choosing random font sizes can make a design feel inconsistent.
The Typography Scale helps designers create balanced text sizing systems, making headlines, subtitles, and body text work together properly.
Useful for:
UI design.
Website layouts.
Editorial design.
Brand guidelines.
A consistent typography system makes content easier to read and improves the overall design quality.
Spacing Scale: Build Consistent Layouts
Spacing is one of the most overlooked parts of design. Poor spacing can make a layout feel crowded or disconnected.
The Spacing Scale helps designers create consistent distances between elements, resulting in cleaner and more organized layouts.
Useful for:
User interface design.
Design systems.
Web layouts.
Mobile applications.
Good spacing creates balance and helps users understand the relationship between different elements.
Contrast Checker: Improve Readability and Accessibility
Contrast affects how easily users can read and understand content. Low contrast between text and background can create accessibility problems.
The Contrast Checker helps designers evaluate whether color combinations provide enough visibility.
Useful for:
Website accessibility.
UI components.
Text readability.
Design quality checks.
A strong contrast system ensures important information remains clear and easy to understand.
Conclusion
Design decisions can become easier when creators have the right tools to support their workflow. Bencma’s design tools help simplify important parts of the creative process, from selecting colors and typography to improving accessibility and visual consistency.
Instead of spending time checking every detail manually, designers can use these tools to explore ideas faster, validate decisions, and create better visual experiences.
