Frequently Asked Questions

What colour harmonies does this tool generate?

The tool generates Complementary (2 colours), Analogous (5 colours), Triadic (3 colours), Split-Complementary (3 colours), Tetradic/Square (4 colours), and Monochromatic (5 shades) palettes.

What is a complementary colour palette?

A complementary palette uses two colours that sit directly opposite each other on the colour wheel (180° apart). The high contrast makes them vibrant and attention-grabbing — ideal for CTAs and accents.

What is an analogous colour palette?

An analogous palette uses colours that are adjacent on the colour wheel (30° apart). They are harmonious and pleasing to the eye — great for backgrounds, illustrations and calm UI designs.

What is a triadic colour palette?

A triadic palette uses three colours evenly spaced on the colour wheel (120° apart). It offers strong visual contrast while remaining balanced — popular in illustration, branding and vibrant UIs.

Can I export the palette colours?

Yes. Click the Copy button on any colour swatch to copy its HEX code. You can also copy all HEX codes at once using the Copy All button.

Is my data private?

Yes. All palette generation happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. No data is ever sent to any server.
