Palette Generators
Build color schemes and harmonies from any base color
Palette generators create coordinated sets of colors from a single starting point using color-theory relationships such as complementary, analogous, triadic, and monochromatic schemes. You can lock colors you like, regenerate the rest, reorder swatches, and export the result as CSS variables, JSON, SVG, or a PNG. These tools turn one color into a usable, balanced scheme in seconds.

Frequently asked questions
Can I keep some colors while regenerating others?
Yes. Lock any swatch you want to keep, then regenerate, and only the unlocked colors change. Locked swatches show a lock icon and label, not just a color change.
How do I export a palette to my code?
Every generator can export CSS custom properties, SCSS variables, JSON, CSV, and SVG or PNG images, all created in your browser with no upload.
