How to use the palette generator
Select a starting colour, choose a harmony relationship, and generate five related colours. The tool converts the starting HEX value to HSL, adjusts hue or lightness, and converts the results back to HEX.
Analogous colours sit near one another on the hue wheel. Complementary colours are opposite. Triadic colours are spaced around the wheel. Monochromatic palettes keep the hue and vary lightness and saturation.
A generated palette is not automatically accessible or suitable for every medium. Check text contrast, material samples, lighting, and print output before using the colours in a finished design.
