Color Scheme Generator

About the Color Scheme Generator

Our Color Scheme Generator is a creative tool we built for designers and developers. It helps you discover new and beautiful color combinations based on color theory. Just pick a starting color, and the tool will instantly generate a full palette based on different harmonies like complementary, analogous, and triadic. It's a great way to ensure your colors work well together and to find inspiration for your next project.

How to Use the Tool

• Start by choosing your "Base Color" using the color picker or by typing in a HEX code.
• Use the "Scheme Type" dropdown to select a color harmony. The palette will update instantly.
• Explore different schemes by clicking the "Random Color" button to get a new base color.
• Each color swatch in the generated palette shows the HEX, RGB, and HSL values. Click on any of these values to copy it directly to your clipboard.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a color harmony?

A color harmony is a set of colors that work well together based on their position on the color wheel. Using a harmony creates a sense of order and balance in a design. Our tool can generate several types:

• Complementary: Colors from opposite sides of the color wheel. This creates high contrast and is very eye-catching.
• Analogous: Colors that are next to each other on the color wheel. This creates a serene and comfortable design.
• Triadic: Three colors that are evenly spaced around the color wheel, forming a triangle. This offers strong visual contrast while retaining balance.
• Tetradic: Four colors arranged into two complementary pairs. This scheme is rich and offers the most variety.
• Monochromatic: A scheme based on one single color tint, using different shades and tones of that color.

How do I choose the right color scheme for my project?

It depends on the mood you want to create. For something bold and energetic, a Complementary or Triadic scheme works well. For a more calm or professional look, an Analogous or Monochromatic scheme is a great choice. The best way is to experiment with different base colors and harmonies using our tool to see what fits your vision.

How can I use the generated colors?

Once your palette is generated, you can easily use the colors in your project. Each color swatch displays its HEX, RGB, and HSL codes. Just click on any of the codes (e.g., "#3498DB") to copy it to your clipboard. You can then paste it into your CSS, a design tool like Figma, or anywhere else you need it.

Are my color choices kept private?

Yes, absolutely. This tool runs entirely in your web browser. All the color calculations and palette generation happen on your own computer. We never see or store any of the colors you choose.
