🎨 Professional Color Palette Generator

About the Color Palette Generator

The Color Palette Generator builds harmonious color schemes from a single base color using classic color-theory rules — complementary, analogous, triadic, tetradic, monochromatic, and split-complementary. Pick a base, choose a harmony, and get a ready-to-use palette with hex codes, copyable CSS variables, and a JSON export.

Everything runs in your browser — your palettes are never sent to a server, and the exports are generated locally on the fly.

What you can control

• Pick any base color via color picker or by typing a hex value
• Choose a harmony type: complementary, analogous, triadic, tetradic, monochromatic, or split-complementary
• Generate a fresh palette instantly when you change either input
• Copy CSS custom-property variables ready to paste into a stylesheet
• Download a JSON file for use in design tools or build pipelines
• Copy all hex codes at once with a single click

Common uses

• Brand identity exploration — try different harmonies around a logo color
• Website and landing-page theming with consistent accent colors
• Presentation slide decks and pitch documents
• Illustration, poster, and social-graphic color planning
• Quick palettes for prototypes, mood boards, and client mockups

Tips

• Start with complementary or analogous if you want a "safe" palette — triadic and tetradic feel bolder
• Use monochromatic when you need depth without color contrast (great for backgrounds)
• Copy CSS variables and paste them at the top of your stylesheet to theme an entire site in seconds
• Test color contrast for accessibility before shipping — small text needs at least 4.5:1 contrast against its background

For brand work, keep one neutral plus a couple of accents from the generated palette rather than using every color — restraint reads more polished than variety.
