Color Palette Generator: a worked example

You have one brand blue and need a coherent five-colour palette for a UI without guessing harmonious shades.

Base colour + scheme

#2563EB · "Analogous"
Color Palette Generator produces

Generated palette

#25C7EB   #2563EB   #4025EB   #8B25EB   #EB25C7

An analogous scheme picks colours adjacent on the colour wheel (rotating hue while holding saturation/lightness), which reads as calm and cohesive, versus complementary, which maximises contrast. The tool computes the math on the wheel so the set is harmonious by construction, then gives you the hex codes ready for design tokens.

Frequently asked questions

What harmony rule should I start with?

Complementary (opposite on the color wheel) creates strong contrast. Analogous (adjacent colors) feels more harmonious. Try both and see which fits your project.

Can I lock one color and regenerate the rest?

Select your locked color as the base and switch between harmony rules, the base stays fixed while the derived colors change.
