Color Palette Generator
Generate complementary, triadic, analogous, split-complementary, tetradic and monochromatic color palettes from any base color.
How to use the Palette Generator
Pick a base color
Click the color square to open a visual picker, or type a hex code directly. The palette generates instantly from your chosen color using the selected color theory rule. Changing the hex code or picker automatically updates all palette colors.
Choose a palette type
Complementary pairs your color with its direct opposite on the color wheel for maximum contrast. Analogous uses colors adjacent on the wheel for a harmonious, natural feel. Triadic and tetradic use evenly spaced colors for vibrant, balanced palettes. Monochromatic gives you tints and shades of a single hue.
Copy any color
Click any swatch to copy that color's hex code. The "Copy all HEX" button copies all palette colors as a comma-separated list of hex codes. Use the large preview bar at the top to see how the palette works together before copying.
