Master Color Theory & Design

Color palettes are the foundation of great design. Our advanced color palette generator uses proven color theory principles to create harmonious color schemes that work beautifully together in any design project.

Color Harmony Types

  • Complementary: Colors opposite on the color wheel - high contrast and vibrant
  • Analogous: Adjacent colors on the wheel - harmonious and pleasing
  • Triadic: Three evenly spaced colors - balanced and vibrant
  • Tetradic: Four colors forming a square - rich and varied
  • Monochromatic: Different shades of the same color - elegant and cohesive
  • Split Complementary: Base color plus two adjacent to its complement - softer contrast
