Color Palette Generator
Generate a simple matching color palette from any base color.
How to generate a colour palette
Start from a base colour and the generator builds a harmonious palette around it — complementary, analogous and shade variations — with the HEX code for each swatch ready to copy. It's a fast way to find colours that work well together for a website, brand, presentation or illustration.
Building palettes that work
Good palettes use colour theory — relationships like complementary and analogous hues — so the colours feel balanced rather than clashing. Starting from one brand colour and generating matches saves hours of trial and error. The palette is generated in your browser, ready to drop into your design tool.
