Color Palette Generator
Generate harmony-based color palettes, lock the colors you like, and regenerate the rest. Choose a style, refine the output, and take the result into the rest of your workflow — including real-context previews, accessibility auditing, and design token mapping.

How it works
Harmony-based generation
Palettes aren't random. Each one is built around color harmony principles — analogous, complementary, triadic, and split-complementary relationships — with controlled saturation and lightness distribution. The result is palettes that feel cohesive and usable, not arbitrary.
Lock and regenerate
Found a color you like? Lock it. When you generate again, locked colors stay fixed and everything else regenerates around them. This lets you explore without losing what's already working.
Styles that shape the output
Each style constrains the generator's saturation, lightness, and hue behavior. Balanced produces versatile results. Muted keeps things quiet. Vibrant pushes saturation. Earthy stays in warm natural tones. Soft generates light pastels. Choose the style that matches the mood of your project.
When to use a generator
Generators work best when you need a starting point — for a brand exploration, a UI concept, a mood board, or a quick creative direction. They're also useful when you have one or two colors locked in and need to fill out the rest of the palette with something that works together.
After generation
A generated palette is a starting point. Use the Palette Visualizer to see how the colors behave on real layouts. Run a palette-wide accessibility audit to find the strongest readable pairings. Check the color blindness simulator to make sure nothing collapses. Or start from an image instead using Image to Palette.
Use cases
Brand identity color systems, UI and product design palettes, editorial and print color schemes, interior design and material palettes, creative direction and mood exploration, presentation and deck theming.
