Color Palette Generator
Generate harmonious color palettes.
How to Use
Start with a base color by entering a HEX value or using the color picker. The tool generates harmonious palettes using color theory rules: complementary, analogous, triadic, split-complementary, and more. Each palette shows all colors with their HEX, RGB, and HSL values ready to copy.
Common Use Cases
- Generating a cohesive color scheme for a new website or application
- Finding complementary accent colors for an existing brand color
- Exploring triadic and split-complementary palettes for data visualization charts
- Creating accessible color combinations for UI design systems
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the different harmony types?
Complementary uses opposite colors on the color wheel. Analogous uses adjacent colors. Triadic uses three evenly spaced colors. Split-complementary uses one color and the two colors adjacent to its complement.
How many colors are in each palette?
The number varies by harmony type: complementary produces 2, analogous produces 3-5, triadic produces 3, and tetradic produces 4. You can adjust the number of shades and tints generated for each color.
Can I export the palette for use in design tools?
You can copy individual color values in HEX, RGB, or HSL format. For bulk export, copy all the values and import them into your design tool or CSS variables.
