How to use Color Palette Generator
- Pick a base color with the color input or by typing a hex value.
- Choose a harmony mode: analogous, monochromatic or complementary.
- Copy the palette as ready-to-use CSS variables, or grab individual hex codes one by one.
Common use cases
- Start a side project with a coherent color set instead of random picks.
- Build a quick brand palette around the main color of a client logo.
- Derive hover, active and muted states from one primary UI color.
- Collect CSS custom properties as a first draft of design tokens.
Good to know
- Harmonies are mathematically derived; always verify contrast before using a pair for text.
- A generated palette is a starting point, not a complete design system.
- Very dark or very light base colors compress the usable range of shades.
