How It Works
Pick a base color using the color picker and the tool generates multiple color harmony schemes based on color theory principles. Complementary colors are opposite on the color wheel, analogous colors are adjacent, triadic uses three evenly spaced colors, and monochromatic uses different shades of the same color. Each palette shows 5 colors with HEX and RGB codes. You can copy individual colors or export entire palettes as CSS variables or JSON. All generation happens instantly in your browser using HSL color space calculations.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are complementary colors?
Complementary colors are opposite each other on the color wheel. They create high contrast and vibrant looks when used together.
What's the difference between analogous and triadic?
Analogous colors are next to each other on the color wheel (harmonious). Triadic uses three colors evenly spaced (balanced and vibrant).
Can I use these palettes for my website?
Yes! Export palettes as CSS variables and use them directly in your stylesheets.
What is a monochromatic palette?
A monochromatic palette uses different shades, tints, and tones of a single color. Great for minimalist designs.
How do I choose a base color?
Use the color picker to select any color, or enter a HEX code. The tool generates harmonious palettes based on your choice.
