Color palette generator — overview

Use it for brand kits, landing pages, and slide decks when you need five related HEX codes from a single anchor color. Switch between shade/tint ramps, analogous hues, or triadic sets; copy plain text or CSS custom properties for handoff to Figma or code.

How it works

  1. Pick a base with the color input or type #RGB / #RRGGBB.
  2. Choose a palette style—the large swatch row updates live.
  3. Copy the HEX list or CSS variables, then validate contrast or build gradients next.

Privacy: Swatches are calculated in your browser. We do not upload your colors or store palettes on our servers.
