How do I generate a color palette?

Enter a base color or let the generator create one randomly. The tool generates complementary, analogous, or triadic color harmonies automatically.

What color format should I use in CSS?

HSL is recommended for design systems because it is human-readable and makes tints/shades easy to create by adjusting the lightness value. HEX is the most common format for direct use in CSS.

How many colors should a web design palette have?

Most designs use 1-2 brand colors, 1 accent color, and 3-5 neutral grays. The 60-30-10 rule guides proportional use: 60% dominant neutral, 30% secondary, 10% accent.

Can I export the color palette?

Yes — the palette generator allows you to copy HEX, RGB, and HSL values for each color, and export as CSS custom properties for use in your stylesheet.
