About Color Palette Generator
Color palettes are a daily need for designers and front-end developers: derive a full swatch set from a brand color, prepare distinguishable colors for data visualization, or define UI state colors. This tool generates complementary, analogous, triadic and monochromatic schemes from a base color, outputs HEX, RGB and HSL values, and exports as JSON, CSS or TXT. Everything runs client-side, nothing is uploaded.
How to Use
- Open the Color Palette Generator tool page
- Enter or paste your data into the input area

FAQ
Which color schemes are supported?
Complementary, analogous, triadic, split-complementary, tetradic and monochromatic - six schemes in total.
Which input color formats are supported?
HEX (e.g. #1A2B3C), RGB (e.g. rgb(26,43,60)) and HSL (e.g. hsl(210,50%,40%)). You can also pick a color directly with the color picker.
Can I export as CSS variables?
Yes. When exporting as CSS, each color becomes a --color-1, --color-2 custom property, ready to paste into your stylesheet.
Are colors uploaded?
No. All palette calculations run locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
Is there a color-blind friendly mode?
The tool generates palettes in HSL space; analogous and monochromatic schemes improve color-blind friendliness to some extent. Pair with a professional color-vision simulator for final review.
