Color Generator

Opposite hues cancel each other out in mixing but amplify each other visually. Maximum contrast, maximum vibrancy — each color makes the other look more intense.

Best for: High-impact designs, CTAs, logos

Takes the tension of a complement and softens it. Instead of one stark opposite, you get two neighbours of that opposite — same contrast range, far easier to balance.

Best for: Vibrant yet balanced layouts

Three equidistant hues at 120° each. All three pull equal visual weight, so they need careful managing — pick a dominant, a secondary, and an accent or everything fights.

Best for: Playful, energetic designs

Adjacent hues share similar wavelengths, so they feel naturally unified. Sunsets work this way. Great for backgrounds and gradients; lacks inherent contrast without a focal accent.

Best for: Nature-inspired, calming interfaces

One hue across its full tonal range. The safest palette — always cohesive, never clashing. The risk is monotony; solve it with dramatic value steps.

Best for: Minimalist, sophisticated designs

Two complementary pairs at 90°. Rich and complex — the most colors to work with, the hardest to keep from feeling chaotic. One dominant, others supporting.

Best for: Rich, diverse color schemes
