A color palette generator takes a single base color and applies color theory rules to produce harmonious color sets. This tool generates five palette types—monochromatic, complementary, analogous, triadic, and split-complementary—covering the most widely-used relationships on the color wheel.
**Monochromatic palettes** vary only the lightness of your base hue, creating subtle, cohesive looks ideal for minimalist or single-brand designs.
**Complementary palettes** pair your base color with the hue directly opposite on the color wheel, producing high-contrast, visually energetic combinations that draw attention.
**Analogous palettes** group your base with its immediate neighbors (±30°), giving naturally harmonious sets popular in nature-inspired or calm interfaces.
**Triadic palettes** evenly space three hues 120° apart. They stay vibrant without being as aggressive as complementary pairs, making them versatile for bold, balanced designs.
**Split-complementary palettes** soften the complementary relationship by splitting the opposite hue into two neighbors. The result is strong contrast with more variety than a straight complement.

A color palette generator takes a base color and applies color theory rules—such as complementary, analogous, or triadic relationships—to produce a set of harmonious colors you can use in design, branding, or code.
Monochromatic or analogous palettes feel cohesive and professional—great for logos and brand kits. Complementary schemes work well for call-to-action buttons or accents that need to stand out.
The tool converts your hex color to the HSL color model, then adjusts hue, saturation, and lightness according to each palette type's rules. All calculations run in your browser—nothing is sent to a server.
These show which text color (white or black) meets the WCAG AA contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 against that swatch background, helping you choose accessible text colors at a glance.
