About this palette generator
Build a complete color system from a single base color. Enter or pick a color and instantly get a perceptually-even scale (tints and shades) plus complementary, analogous and triadic harmonies. Click any swatch to copy its hex.
Why OKLCH scales look better
The scale is generated in OKLCH, a perceptually-uniform color space. That means each step changes lightness by an even visual amount — unlike HSL, where equal numeric steps can look lumpy. The result is a smooth, professional ramp that works as a ready-made design-token set.
FAQ
How many colors does it generate?
A 9-step lightness scale from near-white to near-dark, plus complementary, analogous and triadic harmony colors derived from your base.
What are analogous and triadic colors?
Analogous colors sit next to the base on the color wheel for a harmonious look; triadic colors are evenly spaced around it for vibrant, balanced contrast.
