About the color palette generator

Generate harmonious color palettes from a base color using color-theory schemes — complementary, analogous, triadic, tetradic, monochromatic — or roll a random palette. Copy any swatch as HEX, and lock colors you like while regenerating the rest.

Palettes are computed in your browser using HSL color math.

Frequently asked questions

What are color harmony schemes?

They're relationships on the color wheel: complementary (opposite), analogous (adjacent), triadic (evenly spaced three), tetradic (two complementary pairs) and monochromatic (one hue, varied lightness).

Which scheme should I use?

Analogous and monochromatic feel calm and cohesive; complementary and triadic give vibrant contrast. Pick based on the mood you want.

Can I copy the colors for code?

Yes. Click a swatch to copy its HEX value, ready to paste into CSS or a design tool.

Is anything uploaded?

No. Palettes are generated locally in your browser.
