Complementary color — quick overview

The complement sits opposite your base on the hue wheel (180°). This tool keeps saturation and lightness aligned with your base so the pair feels cohesive—strong contrast without guessing random HEX codes. Use it for buttons on brand backgrounds, split layouts, and hover states; then run our contrast checker before shipping body text.

How to use it

  1. Set a base with the picker, type HEX, or tap a quick sample.
  2. Read the two large swatches—base and complement—and note the approximate contrast ratio line.
  3. Tap a card for HEX, or a small tile for rgb()/hsl(); use Copy pair + CSS vars for the full text bundle.
  4. Jump to triadic & analogous or gradients when you need more than two hues.
