How to build a color palette
Generate a harmonious color scheme from a single base color โ perfect for websites, brands, slides and illustrations.
1. Pick a base color
Use the color picker or paste a HEX value to start.
2. Explore harmonies
Get complementary, analogous, triadic and tetradic schemes plus tints and shades.
3. Copy any color
Click a swatch to copy its HEX, or spin a fresh random palette.
Good color combinations follow simple relationships on the color wheel: complementary colors sit opposite for contrast, analogous colors sit next to each other for calm, and triadic/tetradic sets are evenly spaced for vibrant, balanced schemes. Tints and shades give you a full range for backgrounds, text and accents. Grab colors from an image with the Color Picker, or build gradients in the Gradient Generator.
