Color Palette Generator

How to use

Enter a base HEX color, choose a mode and count, Generate, then Copy any swatch value. Random mode ignores strict harmony and picks fresh colors.

Example

Modes share the base hue rules: mono varies lightness, analogous shifts nearby hues, complementary includes the opposite hue.

Base #2563eb, analogous, 5 colors

Five swatches with HEX, RGB, and HSL for each

How it works

Colors are computed from HSL relative to the base. Each swatch includes hex, rgb(), and hsl() strings for copy-paste into CSS.

Common errors

• An invalid HEX was refused Use #rgb or #rrggbb.
• Count 20 was refused Stay within the offered count range.
• You expected CIELAB harmony This generator uses HSL geometry, not perceptual Lab spaces.

Limitations

Palettes are suggestions, not brand-system tokens. Accessibility contrast is not checked here; use Color Contrast Checker for that.

Questions

Does random use the base color?

Random builds new hues. Other modes derive from the base HEX you enter.
