In short: First, visit the Spotify Palette website. Then, log into your Spotify account. The site analyzes and displays your palette of colors based on your taste in music.
The Spotify Palette is a third-party platform, which is linked to Spotify, created by a software developer named Israel Medina from Texas, United States.
So how does it work? The Spotify Palette analyzes your top tracks over the past six months and generates a personalized color palette based on your listening habits.
Once you link your Spotify account, you’ll be able to see which artists and songs influenced your palette and what colors are associated with the top 15 tracks you have on repeat.
Additionally, the platform also creates beautiful images on the same color palette from Google’s Art and Culture database. You can then use these pictures to showcase your personality.
How to find Spotify Palette
Visit the Spotify Palette website (www.spotifypalette.com) and log into your Spotify account. The page will analyze and create a color palette and explain what it means.
You can see more results, including your top songs and their colors, as well as the images related to your palette, on other tabs from the blue menu button in the bottom left of the screen.
If you want to share the results on social media, as many people do, you’ll need to do this manually by screenshotting your results because there’s no social sharing on the platform.
What to expect from Spotify Palette
Accessing the Spotify Palette platform is pretty straightforward. Upon landing on the website either on mobile or desktop, you’ll see a login button.
There should be a one-click login if your Spotify account is already connected to your device. If this isn’t the case, you’ll need to log in using your Spotify credentials.
Once you’ve logged in, you’ll need to wait for a minute to let the website do its thing. After the results are ready, you’ll get a brief explanation of what those colors mean.
The Spotify Palette’s algorithm takes into account each song’s danceability, valence or positivity, and energy and gives you a percentage result for each track.
For example, a person who listens to upbeat and energetic songs might be told they have a red palette because “Red is the color of passion or desire and can also be associated with energy.”
Below that explanation will also be a handful of stats about your taste in music:
- Average Danceability: 58%
- Average Energy: 55%
- Average Valence (positivity): 44%
A small “hamburger” icon on the screen opens a menu with three options. The first option gives you a list of songs from the past six months that influenced your color palette.
Each song is, of course, a link to open the track on Spotify.
The second option links to an interesting art display. It will reveal a collection of artistic images from the Google Arts and Culture database with color schemes similar to your palette.
Last but not least, the third option displays the palette once again.
Here, you can simply screenshot any of the pages. You can then upload these pictures on social media and showcase what type of music you love to listen to, thanks to Spotify Palette.
Spotify Color Palette meanings
Your Spotify Color Palette is a collection of colors that represent your taste in music based on the top artists and genres you listen to in the past six months on Spotify.
Here’s the meaning of each color palette.
Red
Red is the color of passion or desire and can also be associated with energy. If you have a red Spotify color palette, it means you listen to energetic songs.
Orange
Orange is the color of movement. If you have an orange Spotify color palette, it means you often listen to danceable songs and have more upbeat songs on your playlist.
Yellow
Yellow symbolizes happiness and warmth. If you have a yellow Spotify color palette, it means you often listen to songs with high valence (positive emotions like joy).
Pastel
Pastel is a blend of red, orange, and yellow. If you have a pastel Spotify color palette, it means you often listen to highly danceable and energetic songs.
What to do if Spotify Palette isn’t working
If Spotify Palette isn’t working, it’s likely because you don’t have enough listening history on your Spotify account, since the website uses your list of songs from the past six months.
If Spotify Palette isn’t accessible, it could be that the site is down. Since the tool is a third-party app that uses API integration, Spotify has the right to deny it access to its data.
Is Spotify Palette safe?
Spotify Palette is completely safe. The website only analyzes your listening history using API integration to gather data about your taste in music, not your account credentials.
