Color Palette Generator
Color Palette Generator takes a single base color and builds out a full set of tints, shades, and complementary colors around it, giving you a ready-made palette for a website, app, or design project. It's ideal for designers and developers who want a cohesive color scheme without manually calculating variations.
The entire palette is computed instantly in your browser with plain JavaScript math — there's no server involved, so nothing about your project or color choices ever leaves your device.
How to Use the Color Palette Generator
- Open the Color Palette Generator tool.
- Enter or pick your base color.
- Review the generated tints, shades, and complementary colors.
- Copy the hex codes you want to use in your project.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a tint and a shade?
A tint is your base color mixed with white (lighter), while a shade is your base color mixed with black (darker); the tool generates both automatically.
Can I generate a palette from any hex color?
Yes, you can enter any valid hex, RGB, or named color as your starting point and the palette updates instantly.
Does this tool require an internet connection to work?
Once the page is loaded, all palette calculations happen locally in your browser, so no server round-trip is needed.
