Color Palette Generator
Generate complementary, triadic, and analogous color palettes.
About Color Palette Generator
Enter a base color and generate a full color palette using color theory relationships: complementary (opposite hue), triadic (3 equidistant hues), split-complementary, analogous (adjacent hues), and monochromatic (tints and shades). Displays HEX codes for each color.
Use Cases
Choosing a website color scheme, building a design system palette, selecting brand colors, finding harmonious color combinations, UI design color exploration.
How It Works
Converts input color to HSL, rotates the hue by the appropriate degrees for each harmony type (complement = 180°, triadic = 120°, analogous = 30°), then converts back to HEX.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a complementary color?
The color directly opposite on the color wheel (180° hue difference). Complementary pairs have high contrast and create vibrant visual tension.
What are analogous colors?
Colors adjacent on the color wheel (30° apart). They are harmonious and pleasing, common in nature-inspired designs.
