About the Color Palette Generator

Generate harmonious colour palettes from any base colour β€” monochromatic, analogous, complementary, split-complementary, triadic and tetradic β€” plus tints, shades, gradients and accessible text/background pairs checked against WCAG contrast ratios.

Export palettes as CSS variables, Tailwind config, SCSS, JSON or an image, copy any HEX/RGB/HSL value with one click, and browse trending palettes for inspiration. Built for designers, front-end developers and brand teams.

How to use the color palette generator

  1. 1Pick a base colour with the picker or paste a HEX value.
  2. 2Choose a harmony type (complementary, triadic, analogous…).
  3. 3Check contrast for text and UI pairs in the accessibility tab.
  4. 4Copy individual colours or export the whole palette as CSS, Tailwind, SCSS or JSON; save it for later.

Color Palette Generator β€” frequently asked questions

What makes a good colour palette?

A dominant colour, a supporting secondary, one accent, and neutral tints/shades β€” usually 3–5 colours with a clear hierarchy (the 60-30-10 rule) and enough contrast for text.

What is a complementary colour scheme?

Two colours opposite each other on the colour wheel (e.g. blue and orange). It gives maximum contrast; use one as the dominant and the other as an accent.

How do I check colour contrast for accessibility?

WCAG requires a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text (AA). The accessibility tab computes the ratio for any pair and flags failures.

Can I export to Tailwind or CSS variables?

Yes β€” the export dialog produces ready-to-paste CSS custom properties, a Tailwind colors object, SCSS variables or JSON.

What is the difference between HEX, RGB and HSL?

They describe the same colour differently: HEX/RGB by red-green-blue mix, HSL by hue, saturation and lightness β€” HSL is easiest for creating tints and shades.
