Color Palette Generator
The Color Palette Generator derives a coordinated palette from any base color you pick. Choose one of four schemes: complementary (the colour on the opposite side of the wheel), analogous (colours 30° apart), triadic (three colours 120° apart), or monochrome (five lighter-to-darker shades of the same hue). Output shows each colour as a swatch together with its HEX code; click any swatch to copy the value to your clipboard. Great for designers building UI themes, brand styles, presentations, and infographic palettes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the palette computed?
We convert the base HEX to HSL, then derive secondary colours by adjusting hue and lightness while preserving saturation.
What is the difference between schemes?
Complementary: opposite hue. Analogous: hues adjacent on the wheel. Triadic: hues at 120 degrees. Monochrome: same hue, varying lightness.
How do I copy a colour?
Click any swatch to copy its HEX code. Paste into your CSS or design tool.
Does it support RGB output?
Not yet. HEX is universally easy to copy. Add RGB output if users request it.
Can I export the palette?
Use the browser copy action on each swatch or take a screenshot of the swatches row.
