What is Color Palette Generator?

Color Palette Generator creates harmonious visually balanced color schemes derived from a single base color using established color theory rules. Selecting colors that work well together is one of the hardest parts of UI design mismatched palettes make interfaces feel unprofessional and inaccessible. This generator implements seven established color harmony modes Monochromatic tints tones and shades of one hue for minimal clean designs Complementary opposite colors on the color wheel for high-contrast CTAs Split-Complementary base color plus two adjacent to its complement softer than strict complementary Triadic three colors equally spaced around the wheel balanced vibrancy Analogous adjacent colors for serene natural-feeling palettes Tetradic Square four colors forming a rectangle square for complex rich schemes plus a Custom mode for fine-tuning. Each palette produces five to ten color swatches with hex RGB HSL values calculates WCAG contrast ratios against white and black text for accessibility checking and exports the palette as Tailwind config CSS variables SCSS variables PNG image or Adobe ASE Swatch Exchange format for direct import into Figma Photoshop and Illustrator. Lock specific swatches while regenerating others or extract a palette from any uploaded image.
