Generate beautiful color palettes from a single base color using color theory. Supports complementary, triadic, analogous, monochromatic, split-complementary, and tetradic schemes. Pure client-side — instant results.
A color palette generator uses color theory principles to create harmonious combinations of colors. By starting with a single base color and applying mathematical relationships between hues, you can generate aesthetically pleasing color schemes for web design, graphic design, branding, and art. This tool runs entirely in your browser — no data is sent to any server.
A complementary color scheme uses colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel (180° apart). This creates high contrast and visual impact, making it ideal for calls-to-action and emphasis.
Triadic uses three colors evenly spaced around the color wheel (120° apart), creating a balanced and vibrant scheme. Tetradic uses four colors spaced 90° apart, offering rich variety but requiring careful balance to avoid visual chaos.
Yes! All generated palettes are free to use in personal and commercial projects. Export them as CSS variables, JSON, or plain HEX values for easy integration into your design workflow.
Monochromatic schemes use a single hue with varying lightness and saturation levels. This creates a cohesive, elegant look with minimal contrast — perfect for clean, sophisticated designs.
