Here are detailed answers to the most common questions about the Color Palette Generator:
Color harmony refers to combinations of colors that are visually pleasing based on their positions on the color wheel. Complementary colors are opposite on the wheel; analogous colors are adjacent.
A complementary palette pairs a color with the one directly opposite it on the color wheel (180°). These pairings create high contrast and vibrant visuals.
A tint is a color mixed with white (lighter); a shade is mixed with black (darker). Both maintain the original hue.
Pick your brand's primary color, then use the analogous palette for supporting colors and the complementary color for call-to-action buttons.
The picker works in HEX. RGB and HSL values are shown in the info panel. You can copy any HEX code with a click.
