How Our Color Palette Generator Works
Our color palette generator uses established color theory principles to create harmonious color combinations. Each algorithm produces different results based on color wheel relationships:
- Complementary - Uses colors opposite each other on the color wheel, creating high contrast and vibrant combinations.
- Analogous - Uses colors adjacent to each other on the color wheel, creating harmonious and serene combinations.
- Triadic - Uses three colors equally spaced around the color wheel, creating balanced and vibrant combinations.
- Tetradic - Uses four colors arranged in two complementary pairs, creating rich and varied combinations.
- Monochromatic - Uses variations in lightness and saturation of a single color, creating subtle and elegant combinations.
- Split-Complementary - Uses a base color and two colors adjacent to its complement, creating high contrast with less tension than complementary schemes.
- Random - Generates completely random colors for unexpected inspiration.
Tips for Creating Great Color Palettes
When generating color palettes for your projects, consider these tips for the best results:
- Start with a base color that represents the mood or theme of your project.
- Consider the 60-30-10 rule: use your dominant color for 60% of the design, a secondary color for 30%, and an accent color for 10%.
- Test your palette in different contexts to ensure it works well in various lighting conditions and environments.
- Consider accessibility and ensure sufficient contrast between text and background colors.
- Save palettes you like for future reference and inspiration.
