What are Color Palette Generators?

A color palette generator is an online tool that will generate a random color palette or allow users to create a selection of colors that go well with a specified shade.

Types of Color Palette Generators

  • Monochromatic: Monochromatic colors are single colors or various tints of the same color. You create monochromatic colors using shades/hues of the same color.

  • Analogous: On the color wheel, analogous colors are adjacent. It means they are next to each other on the color wheel.

  • Complementary: The complementary Color is like the analogous color palette generator. On the color wheel, both generators are both opposite each other.

  • Split complementary:

A split complementary scheme involves using three colors. Start with one Color, find its complement, and then use the two colors on either side. For example, the complement of blue-green is red-orange, and the split complement of blue-green would be red and orange. Again, you can use any shade, tint, or tone of these three colors when developing your color scheme.

  • Triadic: Three colors make up a triadic color. They are at the same distance on a color wheel. These color palettes work best in projects that need a lot of contrast.

Some of the importance of using color palette generators are:

  • It provides the appropriate color scheme.
