Features

This tool generates harmonious palettes from a chosen base color using color theory algorithms. It supports the following common color rules:

  • Monochromatic: Based on the same hue, generates colors by adjusting saturation and lightness for a clean, unified look.
  • Analogous: Adjacent colors on the color wheel (typically 30° apart) for natural, soft transitions.
  • Complementary: Opposite colors on the color wheel (180° apart) for strong contrast, ideal for emphasis.
  • Split Complementary: The base color plus the two colors adjacent to its complement, retaining contrast but softer.
  • Triadic: Three colors evenly spaced on the color wheel (120° apart) for a vivid, lively palette.
