Random Color Palette Generator

Lock what you like and generate the rest

Few palettes are perfect on the first try. When one color works, lock it and press New palette again. The other colors change around it, so you can build a scheme a step at a time rather than hoping for a perfect result.

Color harmonies you can choose

Harmonies are rules for choosing colors that sit well together on the color wheel. This generator offers: Random, Analogous, Complementary, Triadic, Split complementary, Square, Monochrome. Use the mood and hue menus as well for pastel, earthy or blue-based palettes.

How to use a palette in a design

Looking for a single color and its codes? Use the random hex color generator.

• Try the 60-30-10 rule: use one main color for about 60% of the design, a second for 30% and an accent for 10%.
• Keep text readable: check contrast between your text and background before you commit.
• Test for color blindness: the vision menu shows how the palette looks to people with common types of color blindness.
• Use the preview: see your colors on a sample page before you use them in real work.
