Color Palette Generator
Generate a full palette — complementary, analogous and triadic colors — from any base hex color.
A color palette generator turns one color you like into a coordinated scheme using colour-theory relationships. Paste any hex code and it returns the complementary colour (opposite on the wheel, for high-contrast accents), analogous colours (neighbours, for calm, harmonious sections) and triadic colours (evenly spaced, for vibrant, balanced designs). It runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded — so it is instant and private.
Pick one harmony as your scheme rather than mixing all three, then use the 60-30-10 rule: 60% a dominant neutral, 30% a secondary colour and 10% an accent for buttons and highlights. This gives brands and websites a professional, intentional look without a design degree.
Frequently asked questions
What is a color palette generator?
It is a tool that builds a set of matching colours from a single base colour using colour theory (complementary, analogous and triadic relationships), so your design looks coordinated.
How do I use it?
Enter a hex code like #6d48f5 and click generate. You will get the base colour plus its complementary, analogous and triadic partners, each with its hex value ready to copy.
Is my data uploaded anywhere?
No. The palette is generated locally in your browser using JavaScript, so nothing is sent to a server.
How many colors should a palette have?
A practical scheme uses 3–5 colours applied in a 60-30-10 ratio: a dominant neutral, a secondary colour and one accent for calls to action.
