Chainlift Color

How to integrate Chainlift Color with Webflow

Chainlift Color generates complete Material 3 themes from a single hex code while meeting WCAG AA- or higher-contrast requirements. This integration focuses on theme generation within Webflow; programmatic workflows use Webflow's native API infrastructure since Chainlift Color does not expose its own endpoints.

There are several ways to integrate Chainlift Color with Webflow. You can use the Chainlift Color app to generate themes directly via Webflow Marketplace or use API integration.

Use the Chainlift Color app

The Chainlift Color Webflow app installs through the Apps panel. Input any hex code to generate a complete Material 3 dynamic color theme with light and dark mode swatches. The app generates color variables and preconfigured utility classes that ensure WCAG AA- or higher-contrast ratios by pairing each background color with an accessible text color.

The Chainlift Color app lets you:

• Generate themes from hex codes: Enter a single brand color to produce a complete Material 3 dynamic color palette with WCAG AA+ compliance
• Switch between light and dark modes: Use automatically-created color swatches to toggle themes without manual configuration
• Apply utility classes as combo classes: Style elements with pre-built classes that pair backgrounds with corresponding text colors for proper contrast ratios
• Update themes instantly: Change the source color to refresh all variables across your project

The app requires no embed codes or script tags. After installation, access it through the Apps panel to generate themes immediately.

Build with Webflow's API

Chainlift Color operates as a Webflow extension without exposed API endpoints. For programmatic workflows involving content that uses Chainlift Color themes, use Webflow's REST API to manage CMS items and automate publishing. Learn more about working with the CMS programmatically.

Webflow's REST API supports the following operations:

• Create CMS items: Use POST /v2/collections/:collection_id/items to add content that references Chainlift Color utility classes
• Update existing items: Use PATCH /v2/collections/:collection_id/items/:item_id to modify content programmatically
• Publish site changes: Use POST /v2/sites/:site_id/publish to deploy updates after CMS modifications
• Configure webhooks: Use POST /v2/sites/:site_id/webhooks to trigger external processes when content changes

All API requests require bearer token authentication with the header format: Authorization: Bearer {access_token}. Store tokens securely, rotate them regularly, and never commit them to version control. Implement error handling for rate limit responses (HTTP 429).

What you can build

Chainlift Color with Webflow lets you build accessible, themed websites without manual color calculations. The app generates complete Material 3 color themes from a single hex code directly within Webflow.

• Portfolio sites with dark mode: Build a creative portfolio with light and dark theme switching.
• Membership platforms with consistent theming: Create subscription-based sites where color systems stay consistent across all membership templates and components through shared utility classes.
• Accessible institutional websites: Develop sites for organizations that need WCAG-compliant color contrast with professionally designed color schemes. Full WCAG compliance also depends on structure, semantics, and interaction patterns beyond color.
• Brand-consistent marketing pages: Launch campaign landing pages that match existing brand guidelines by generating themes from a single brand hex code.
