How do I generate a color scheme?

Enter a base color and pick a harmony — complementary, analogous, split-complementary, triadic, or tetradic — and adjust with HSL controls, then export to CSS.

Which color scheme should I use?

Analogous for calm and cohesive, complementary for high contrast, triadic for vibrant balance. Start analogous and add one accent if unsure.

Can I export the scheme to code?

Yes — every generated scheme copies out as CSS custom properties in one click, ready to drop into a stylesheet.

About Color Scheme Generator

Generate complementary, analogous, split-complementary, triadic, and tetradic palettes from any base color. Fine-tune with HSL sliders and export CSS in one click. One base color drives every harmony variant at once — complementary, analogous, triadic — and they all update together as the base changes.

Useful during the palette-selection phase, when you need to quickly compare a few harmony types and pick whichever best fits the project tone.
