What is a harmonious color palette?
A harmonious color palette is a set of colors that work well together because they share a relationship on the color wheel. Analogous colors sit side by side, complementary colors sit opposite each other, and triadic palettes use three evenly spaced hues for balanced contrast.
How do I use a palette in my website design?
Copy the palette as CSS variables and paste them into your stylesheet, then use the variables for backgrounds, headings, buttons and accents. This keeps colors consistent across pages and makes it easy to change your whole theme later by editing just a few variable values.
Can I lock a color I like while generating new palettes?
Yes, click the lock control under any swatch to keep that color fixed. When you generate again, only the unlocked colors change, so you can build around a brand color or a favorite shade without losing it during repeated generation attempts.
Is the color palette generator free to use?
Yes, this tool is completely free and runs entirely in your browser. There is no account, no upload and no watermark. You can generate as many palettes as you like, copy hex codes and export CSS variables for personal or commercial design projects.
