Three steps to a perfect palette
Pick a base color
Choose a starting color using the color picker, paste a hex code, or hit randomize to let the tool pick for you.
Generate harmony
The tool automatically generates a 5-color palette using color theory principles — complementary, analogous, or triadic schemes.
Copy & export
Copy individual hex codes, grab the full CSS snippet, or export the palette in your preferred format. Use it anywhere.
Where color palettes make a difference
From web design to brand identity, the right colors elevate every project.

Social media graphics
Create consistent Instagram posts, stories, and thumbnails with a unified color palette that strengthens brand recognition.
Brand identity
Build a complete brand color system from a single brand color. Get shades, tints, and complementary colors for every use case.
Art & illustration
Find inspiration for digital art, illustrations, and creative projects. Discover color combinations you would not have thought of.
Design better with color theory
Practical advice from professional designers for creating impactful color systems.
Start with emotion
Choose your base color based on the emotion you want to convey — blue for trust, red for energy, green for growth, purple for creativity.
Use the 60-30-10 rule
Allocate 60% to your dominant color, 30% to a secondary color, and 10% to an accent. This creates balanced, professional-looking designs.
Test in dark mode
Always preview your palette on dark backgrounds. Colors that pop on white may disappear on dark — adjust saturation and lightness accordingly.
Keep contrast above 4.5:1
For text readability, ensure at least 4.5:1 contrast ratio between text and background colors. Our tool flags this automatically.
Limit to 5 colors
Resist the urge to use too many colors. A 5-color palette is versatile enough for most projects while maintaining visual cohesion.
Save your favorites
When you find a palette you love, export it immediately. Bookmark the URL or save the CSS variables for future projects.
