What is a Color Palette Generator?

A color palette generator is a tool that creates harmonious sets of colors based on color theory principles. Building a coherent color palette is one of the most important: and challenging: aspects of visual design. Whether you are creating a brand identity, designing a web application, or building a component library, a well-chosen palette ensures visual harmony and accessibility.

CodeHelper's Color Palette Generator offers six harmony schemes, a full Material Design palette generator, WCAG accessibility checking, and export to CSS, SCSS, JSON, and Tailwind Config.

Color Harmony Schemes

  • Monochromatic: A Tailwind-style scale of 10 shades derived from a single base color.
  • Material Design: The full 500-level primary + accent palette used in Google's Material Design system.
  • Analogous: Colors adjacent on the color wheel: creates calm, cohesive palettes.
  • Complementary: Opposite colors on the wheel: high contrast and visually dynamic.
  • Triadic: Three equally spaced hues: vibrant and balanced.
  • Split-Complementary: A base color plus two colors adjacent to its complement: contrast with less tension.

How to generate a color palette

  1. Pick a base color with the HEX color picker.
  2. Choose a color harmony scheme.
  3. Lock colors you want to keep and shuffle the rest.
  4. Check WCAG contrast ratios with the accessibility checker.
  5. Export to CSS variables, SCSS, JSON, or Tailwind config.
