About the Color Palette Generator
The Color Palette Generator builds a coordinated set of colors from any starting color, using the rules of color theory. Pick a harmony — complementary for high contrast, analogous for a calm, related look, triadic for balanced vibrancy, or monochromatic for a single-hue scheme — and get five ready-to-use swatches. Click any swatch to copy its HEX code straight into your design or stylesheet.
How to use it
- Choose a base color with the picker.
- Select a harmony type, or pick Random for inspiration.
- Click any swatch to copy its HEX value.
Frequently asked questions
What is a complementary color scheme?
Complementary colors sit opposite each other on the color wheel. They create strong contrast and make elements pop, which is great for calls to action.
When should I use analogous colors?
Analogous schemes use neighboring hues for a harmonious, low-contrast feel — ideal for backgrounds and relaxed designs.
Can I save a palette?
Click each swatch to copy its HEX code and paste them into your design file or a notes app to keep the set.
