It takes a base color and generates complementary colors that work well together, helping designers create visually appealing color combinations for their projects.
The tool offers four palette types: Analogous (colors next to each other on the color wheel), Monochromatic (different shades of the same color), Complementary (colors opposite on the color wheel), and Triadic (three colors evenly spaced on the color wheel). Each type creates different visual effects.
Select your base color using the color picker, then choose a palette type (Analogous, Monochromatic, Complementary, or Triadic). The tool will instantly generate a harmonious color palette. You can copy individual colors, copy the entire palette, or export it as a JSON file for use in your design tools.
Yes! You can export your palette as a JSON file by clicking the "Export JSON" button. The file contains both HEX and RGB values for all colors in the palette, making it easy to import into design software or share with team members.
An analogous color scheme uses colors that are next to each other on the color wheel. These colors usually match well and create serene, comfortable designs. They're commonly found in nature and are pleasing to the eye.
A complementary color scheme uses colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel. These color combinations create high contrast and vibrant looks, making elements stand out. They're great for call-to-action buttons and emphasis.
The palette generator uses precise color theory algorithms based on the HSL color model to calculate harmonious color combinations. The generated palettes follow established design principles and are mathematically accurate to color theory standards.
Yes, the color palette generator is completely free to use with no registration required. You can generate unlimited palettes, export them, and use them in any project. All processing happens in your browser for privacy and speed.
