Choosing the right color scheme is one of the most important decisions in web and graphic design. This free online color palette generator creates harmonious 5-color palettes based on color theory principles. Select from six generation modes: random, monochromatic, analogous, complementary, triadic, and split-complementary, or press the spacebar to generate new palettes rapidly until you find one that works.
Each swatch displays the HEX and RGB values along with a WCAG contrast ratio badge, helping you check accessibility compliance at a glance. Lock individual colors you like and regenerate the rest, or fine-tune any color using the HSL sliders. Save your favorite palettes to local storage for later reference.
When you are ready to use your palette, export it as CSS custom properties, SCSS variables, Tailwind config, or plain JSON. Everything runs in the browser with no server calls and no sign-up. Ideal for UI designers, brand designers, and front-end developers.
