Advertising Disclosure
PastelPal is free to use, and one of the ways it stays free is by displaying advertising through Google AdSense. This page explains, clearly and plainly, how that advertising works and how you can control it. Please also read our Privacy Policy for the full picture.
Third-Party Advertising
This site uses Google AdSense to display ads. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and other sites across the internet. This is sometimes called "interest-based" or "personalised" advertising.
Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet. To opt out of personalised advertising from Google, visit Google's Ads Settings. To opt out of personalised advertising from other participating third-party vendors, visit www.aboutads.info (EU/UK visitors can use Your Online Choices). If you live in the EU/EEA or the UK, advertising cookies are only loaded after you accept our cookie banner.
Editorial Independence
Advertising on PastelPal has no influence over the content of the blog articles or the tools. The blog is written by the site's author, Dann B., based on practical experience and research, and is not reviewed or approved by any advertiser. Ads appear in clearly marked areas and never masquerade as editorial content. If a post ever contains a sponsored mention or an affiliate link, it will be clearly labelled as such at the top of that post. Currently, no posts are sponsored.
Why We Show Ads
Building and hosting free tools - the palette generator, contrast checker, gradient generator, and everything else - costs time and money. Advertising revenue covers those costs and keeps every tool free for everyone, with no accounts, no paywalls, and no selling of your data. We believe the trade-off is fair and transparent: you see unobtrusive ads, and you never pay for the tools.
Accuracy Disclaimer
The color tools and blog articles on PastelPal are provided "as is" and for general informational and educational purposes. While we work hard to keep everything accurate, color perception varies by device, monitor, and lighting, and we cannot guarantee that every color will display identically everywhere. The accessibility guidance on this site is educational and should not replace professional review for legally required compliance.
