Color Palette
Generate harmonious color palettes.
About this tool
The Color Palette Generator creates harmonious colour schemes based on colour theory - complementary, analogous, triadic, or monochromatic - from any seed colour. Use the output for web design, branding, presentations, and art projects.
How it works
- Enter a seed colour using the colour picker or by typing a hex code.
- Select a palette type: complementary, analogous, triadic, split-complementary, or monochromatic.
- The palette generates instantly with hex codes for each colour.
- Copy individual hex codes or export the full palette.
Example use cases
- Brand identity: Start with your primary brand colour (#2563EB) and generate a triadic palette to find two additional accent colours that are visually balanced.
- Web UI design: Create a monochromatic palette from a single blue to generate 5 shades for backgrounds, borders, buttons, and text.
Frequently asked questions
What is a complementary colour?
Complementary colours sit opposite each other on the colour wheel (e.g., blue and orange). They create high contrast and visual energy when used together.
Can I enter an RGB or HSL value instead of hex?
Enter hex codes (#RRGGBB) for best results. You can convert RGB to hex using an online converter if needed.
