Color Palette Generator
Color Palette Generator turns a single base colour into six ready-to-use schemes — complementary, analogous, triadic, split-complementary, monochromatic and tints & shades — with copyable hex codes for every swatch.
Last updated: July 2026
A color palette generator builds matching colour schemes from one base colour using colour-wheel maths: complementary (opposite hue), analogous (±30°), triadic, split-complementary, monochromatic lightness steps and tints & shades. Pick or randomize a base hex, then click any swatch to copy its code. Everything runs in your browser.
How to use Color Palette Generator
- Pick a base colour or hit Randomize.
- Browse the generated palettes.
- Click a swatch to copy its hex, or Copy all for a whole row.
Frequently asked questions
How are the palettes generated?
By rotating the hue and adjusting lightness in HSL colour space — the same colour-wheel relationships designers use for harmonious schemes.
Can I copy a whole palette at once?
Yes — every row has a Copy all button that copies its hex codes comma-separated.
Is anything uploaded?
No — palettes are computed instantly in your browser; nothing is sent to a server.
