Review Contrast and Brand Fit

A palette can look attractive but still fail accessibility or brand requirements. Test text/background pairs separately and adjust colors before publishing a real interface.

When a Palette Generator Helps

Use it when starting a new visual direction, choosing accent colors, building mockups, preparing social assets, or collecting color ideas before detailed design work.

About This Tool

Color Palette Generator creates harmonious colour schemes from a base colour using colour theory: complementary, analogous, triadic, and tetradic relationships. It outputs the palette as HEX codes ready to use in design tools.

When to Use It

Use this when starting a design project and you need a cohesive colour scheme, when building a brand palette from a primary colour, or when finding colours that work well together without manual experimentation.

How to Use

Enter or pick your base colour.
Select a harmony type: complementary, analogous, triadic, or tetradic.
Browse the generated palette.
Copy individual HEX codes or export the full set.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a complementary colour scheme?

Complementary colours sit opposite each other on the colour wheel and create high contrast, used for bold attention-grabbing designs.

What is the difference between analogous and triadic?

Analogous uses adjacent colours for a harmonious calm look. Triadic uses three equally spaced colours for a balanced but vibrant result.

How many colours should a brand palette have?

Most brands use a primary colour, one or two secondary colours, and one or two neutral tones. More than five active colours becomes hard to apply consistently.
