What is a complementary color scheme?

It pairs a color with the one directly opposite it on the color wheel, creating high contrast.

What is an analogous color scheme?

It uses colors that sit near each other on the color wheel, creating a harmonious, low-contrast look.

What is a triadic color scheme?

It uses three colors evenly spaced around the color wheel (120° apart), offering vibrant contrast while staying balanced.

Is my base color sent anywhere?

No — the palette is calculated entirely in your browser.

Can I export the palette as CSS variables?

Copy the generated HEX codes and paste them directly into your CSS as custom property values.

Does the palette change if I pick a different base color?

Yes — every generated color is calculated relative to your chosen base color.

What Is a Color Palette Generator?

A color palette generator builds a set of related colors starting from one base color, using established color-theory rules — complementary (opposite on the color wheel), analogous (neighboring hues), triadic (evenly spaced), monochromatic (same hue, different lightness) or shades & tints.

Rather than guessing which colors go well together, this tool applies the same hue/saturation/lightness math designers use to build a coordinated palette from a single starting color in one click.

Try Multiple Harmony Styles

The same base color produces very different palettes depending on the harmony rule chosen.

Use Monochromatic for Subtle UI Palettes

Monochromatic palettes work well for backgrounds, borders and subtle UI states.
