How to Create Spotify Color Palette

One of the novelties of Spotify's retrospective, at the end of 2021, was to show the "aura" of what users listened to during the year. Now, you can do something similar, but different: create the Spotify color palette.

To discover your palette, you need to access the website Spotify Palette, a site as fun as it is minimalist, where you have to log in through your account on streaming of music. And then, in a matter of seconds, the magic happens. The downside, for those who don't understand English, is that, for now, this is the only language on the site (but it presents the content so succinctly that Google Chrome's translation tool, for example, can handle it).

What is Spotify Palette?

It's a website that categorizes, in color, what you've listened to in the last six months on Spotify. This feature, unlike Spotify's retrospective, is not from the platform (those you access in the app or on the streaming website), although the service is a reference for this type of trends. It's a tool, let's say, outsourced. Its existence is only possible because, recently, the streaming of music allowed other sites to access their users' data – not the registration data (login, password, etc.), but those related to their habits on the platform.

As the name suggests, this categorization made by the site creates a color palette of the person's Spotify. In addition to glimpsing the colors of a more recent part of your musical taste, the site has a number of additional resources to explore it further.

The somewhat outlandish idea of ​​the Spotify Palette came from the mind of Israel Medina, who is a software developer graduated from the University of Texas (USA), as stated in his LinkedIn profile.

How to see Spotify's color palette?

To discover the colors of your music taste on Spotify Palette, do this:

1. Access the site and click on the link below “Welcome!”;

2. Choose one of the login options and agree to the terms;

3. Wait for the website to generate the Spotify color palette.

Below your palette, you'll find a succinct breakdown of it. In my case, the analysis was (in free translation):

His [history] has more upbeat songs – which gives him a red palette. Red is the color of passion or desire and is also associated with energy.

In addition to the analysis, the site brings some statistical data related to its palette. The data related to my history for the last six months was:

• Average danceability: 51%;
• Average energy: 72%;
• Average valence (positivity): 38%.

By clicking on the single icon on the page, you open a menu with three options. The first takes you to a list of your top 15 songs heard in the last six months, which served as the basis for creating the palette. The second brings, once again, the Spotify color palette. And the last – perhaps the most sophisticated – shows a gallery of images and/or artworks, collected by the site on Google Arts & Culture, that have the same color palette as your Spotify. By clicking on the images, you go to their respective pages on Google Arts & Culture, which have information about them.

All content on the site is shareable, but it's up to you to do the heavy lifting (read: take screenshots of the pages you want to share).
