Whether you've been working in Web Development forever or you're just a beginner, so many styles that you have to implement using CSS can be a pain.
To make your life easier, I've compiled a list of generators that will make CSS a little more pleasant for you.

This is not CSS specific, but it’s also pretty helpful.

Coolors generates color palettes that are modern and look good. You can easily navigate between patterns by just clicking the spacebar!
Background Image Generator

With ZenBG you can also generate background images with different colors and patterns and features, however, it has some additional features that make it good as well. First, you can load your website and edit it live to see how it will look like. This is better than having to copy the CSS to your website and keep going back and forth until you get it right. Another good thing about it is that you can choose gradients. In addition, you can choose to get the CSS code or download the wallpaper as an image.

For everyone that still struggles with getting media queries right and provide support for different devices, this generator got you covered! You can choose the device type like phone, laptop, or desktop, but you can also choose specific devices like the iPhone 6s.
