Color Palette Generator

? Frequently Asked Questions

What color harmony rules are available?

Common schemes: Complementary (opposite on color wheel), Analogous (adjacent colors), Triadic (evenly spaced), Split-complementary, Tetradic (rectangle), and Monochromatic (shades of one color). Each creates different visual effects.

Can I generate palettes from images?

Yes! Upload an image and the tool extracts dominant colors to create a palette. Perfect for matching website designs to photos or creating color schemes from logos and brand images.

How many colors should be in my palette?

Most designs use 3-5 colors: 1 dominant (60%), 1 secondary (30%), 1-3 accent colors (10%). This creates visual hierarchy without overwhelming users. More colors can work but require careful balance.

Can I adjust individual colors in the palette?

Yes, most generators allow fine-tuning each color's hue, saturation, and brightness while maintaining the overall harmony. You can also lock colors to keep them while regenerating others.

Can I export palettes to design tools?

Yes, export formats include HEX codes, RGB values, CSS variables, Sass/SCSS, Adobe Swatch Exchange (ASE), and palette URLs. This makes it easy to use generated colors in Photoshop, Illustrator, or code.
