H1_Color Palette Generator - HEX to Palette | MultiTool

Generate beautiful color palettes from any base color: monochromatic, complementary, analogous, triadic and tetradic. Copy hex codes.

PALETTE TYPE

Neighbors on the color wheel — harmonious. Click any swatch to copy its hex.

How it works

Pick a base color and a harmony type — mono, complementary, analogous, triadic or tetradic — and instantly get a 5-color palette with hex codes ready to copy into your designs.

Color harmony in 60 seconds

Palettes feel right when colors relate by position on the color wheel. The classic harmonies this tool plays with:

  • Complementary — opposites on the wheel (blue/orange). High energy, great for call-to-action accents.
  • Analogous — neighbors (teal/green/yellow-green). Calm and cohesive; nature is full of them.
  • Triadic — three points evenly spaced. Vibrant but balanced — the classic children's-book trio.
  • Monochrome — one hue, many lightness levels. Elegant, hard to get wrong.

The 60-30-10 rule: dominate with one color (60%), support with a second (30%), accent sparingly (10%). It is the fastest way to turn any palette into a usable design — for slides, rooms, brands or websites. And remember: text needs contrast — keep body text at WCAG AA levels against its background.

HEX, RGB and HSL, decoded

The same color wears three uniforms: HEX (#b4552d) is the web's shorthand for red-green-blue values in hexadecimal; RGB (180, 85, 45) says the same thing in decimal; HSL splits color into hue/saturation/lightness — far more intuitive for humans, which is why designers tweak in HSL (“a bit darker, a bit less saturated”). A practical trick for building palettes: keep the same hue and vary lightness for instant elegance.
