Using our color palette generator is simple and intuitive. Follow these easy steps to create beautiful color schemes:

Step 1: Choose Your Base Color

• Complementary: Colors opposite each other on the color wheel
• Triadic: Three colors evenly spaced on the color wheel

Step 4: Create Gradients

Step 5: Copy and Use Your Colors
Click on any color in a palette to copy its HEX code, or use the "Copy Colors" button to get all colors from a palette as CSS variables. For gradients, use the "Copy" button to get the ready-to-use CSS code.
