Friendly Color Palette Generator
What is a Color Palette Generator?
A color palette generator creates sets of colors that work well together using color harmony rules. Complementary colors sit opposite on the hue wheel for contrast. Analogous colors are adjacent for subtle harmony. Split complementary and triadic offer balanced variety. Tints, shades, and tones are monochromatic—same hue with varying lightness. A good generator makes it easy to explore and copy these palettes for web and product design.
