Color Theory Basics

Understanding color theory can help you create more effective designs:

Color Harmony

Colors that create a pleasing visual balance when used together. Our generator creates harmonious palettes based on proven color theory principles.

Color Context

How colors behave in relation to other colors. The same color can appear differently depending on surrounding colors.

Practical Applications

  • Use analogous colors for a calm, cohesive look
  • Complementary colors create vibrant contrast
  • Monochromatic schemes work well for minimalist designs
  • Triadic palettes offer balanced contrast

  2. Choose a palette type from the dropdown
  3. Adjust the number of colors with the slider
  4. Click "Generate Palette" to create your color scheme
  5. Copy the color codes to use in your projects

The color palette generator uses color theory to create harmonious combinations that work well together in designs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the color palettes generated accessible?

Our generator creates palettes with sufficient contrast by default. For critical accessibility needs, we recommend verifying contrast ratios with specialized tools like WebAIM's Contrast Checker.

Can I save my favorite color palettes?

While we don't currently offer account-based saving, you can copy the color codes or take a screenshot of your palette for future reference.

How do I use these colors in my CSS?

Simply copy the hex codes (like #3b82f6) and use them in your CSS properties (color, background-color, border-color, etc.). Our generator provides the codes in ready-to-use format.
