Color Palette Generator

Complementary colors sit opposite each other on the color wheel (180° apart). They create maximum contrast and vibrant looks when used together — like blue and orange, or red and green. Use one as the dominant color and the other as an accent to avoid overwhelming the viewer.

Analogous colors are adjacent on the color wheel (30–60° apart). They create harmonious, natural-feeling palettes since they share a common hue. Great for nature-inspired designs. Examples: yellow, yellow-green, green — or red, red-orange, orange.

Triadic colors are evenly spaced around the color wheel (120° apart). They create vibrant, balanced palettes that work well for bold designs. The classic primary triadic is red, yellow, blue. To keep it cohesive, use one color as dominant and the other two as accents.

Tints are created by adding white to a color (lighter). Shades are created by adding black (darker). Tones are created by adding gray (more muted). A monochromatic palette uses only tints, shades, and tones of a single hue — creating an elegant, cohesive look.
