About Palette Generator
A color palette generator builds a harmonious set of colors from one base color using color-theory schemes. Pick a base color and a scheme — complementary, analogous, triadic, tetradic, or monochromatic — and get a matching palette with hex codes to copy. No sign-up, runs in your browser.
Frequently asked questions
- Which color scheme should I use?
- Complementary is high-contrast and bold; analogous is calm and cohesive; triadic and tetradic are vibrant and balanced; monochromatic is a single-hue range.
- How do I build a palette from one hex code?
- Enter your base hex color and pick a scheme — the generator rotates the hue on the color wheel to produce a matching set, each swatch with a hex code to copy.
- What's the difference between complementary and analogous?
- Complementary colors sit opposite on the color wheel for maximum contrast; analogous colors sit next to each other for a softer, harmonious blend.
- How are the palettes generated?
- By rotating the base hue (and varying lightness for monochromatic) in HSL space according to the chosen scheme — no server, it all runs locally.
