Palettes by the shipload.
Every load is five colours stacked three-and-two, primaries riding on top. Browse the fleet, copy a container, ship it into your build.
Drawn from published brand guidelines · self-contained: no trackers, no network calls, nothing leaves your machine - guaranteed.
Every load is agent-ready
Theme Tanker is the palette skill in the UpLinkd upskill: the colour registry for agentic coding, the standard for colour, palettes and swatches. Install the upskill in Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code or your design system, run up palette to browse or load a container, then hand it to the design skill and the agent turns five hex codes into a full, accessible design system it builds every page against. Package colour once, apply it anywhere.

A load is just colour, so it drops into whatever your project builds against - and the design skill turns it into a full system on any of them.
A palette spec, ready to build against
Load a container and the agent works with real colour, not guesses: hex, role and contrast for every swatch. Pro exports the same load to CSS, Tailwind and design tokens. This is a sample spec sheet, for illustration.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is free and what is Pro?
Free covers the whole registry: search palettes by sector, mood or colour, get a palette's colours and load a 5-colour container into your coding agent, offline, forever. Pro adds export: turn any load into CSS custom properties, a Tailwind colour theme and W3C design tokens. Pro is part of upskill Pro: US$149 a year via Stripe, or 2 BSV a year (about US$50) as our Bitcoin community rate. One upskill Pro subscription covers this skill and every other in the suite.
Does it work with my stack and design tokens?
Yes. A load is just colour, so it drops into CSS, Tailwind, design tokens, Figma, SCSS or styled-components. The skill installs into Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code, and the Pro export writes the format your build already uses.
Does it phone home?
No. Theme Tanker is self-contained. The registry ships with the skill and runs entirely on your machine, with no trackers, no network calls and nothing leaving your machine.
Where do the palettes come from?
The fleet is drawn from the published brand guidelines of the Forbes Global 2000's largest companies, sorted by sector, so you can match or take inspiration from real brand colour. Themes are complete drop-in design systems built on top of that colour.
What does export give me?
Pro export takes any load and writes it out as CSS custom properties, a Tailwind theme.extend.colors block and a W3C design-tokens JSON file, so the same five colours flow straight into whatever your project builds against.
