About Color Palette Generator
Why use a color palette generator?
Choosing colors that work together is one of the hardest parts of design. A bad palette makes a website look amateur, a presentation look chaotic, or a brand feel disjointed. Color palette generators use color theory — complementary, analogous, triadic, and split-complementary harmonies — to produce combinations that naturally look good together. Whether you're designing a website, picking paint colors, or creating digital art, starting with a harmonious palette saves hours of trial and error.
How it works
Click or press spacebar to generate a random 5-color palette based on color harmony rules. Each color shows its hex code, RGB values, and HSL values. Click any color to copy its hex code. You can lock any colors you like and regenerate the rest to build a palette around a specific brand color.
Export and use
Export your palette as a PNG image for reference, or copy all color codes at once. The generated palettes work for web design (hex codes), print design (RGB), and advanced color work (HSL). All processing happens in your browser — no data is sent anywhere.

Frequently Asked Questions
What color formats are provided?
Each color shows its hex code (#FF5733), RGB values (rgb(255, 87, 51)), and HSL values (hsl(11, 100%, 60%)). Click any value to copy it to your clipboard.
Can I lock colors and regenerate the rest?
Yes. Click the lock icon on any color to keep it fixed. When you generate a new palette, locked colors stay while the unlocked ones randomize. This lets you build a palette around a specific brand color.
How are the color harmonies generated?
The generator uses established color theory principles — selecting a base hue and calculating complementary, analogous, triadic, or split-complementary colors. Saturation and lightness are varied to create visually balanced palettes.
Can I export the palette?
Yes. Click 'Copy All' to copy all hex codes to clipboard, or use 'Export PNG' to download a visual swatch image of your palette for reference in design files.
