Color Palette Generator

Generate a 5-color palette instantly — random, or based on a base color's harmonies.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between the two modes?

Random palette picks five unrelated colors for variety and inspiration; harmony mode derives all five from your chosen base color's hue, so they naturally relate to each other.

Can I copy individual colors?

Yes, each swatch shows its hex code, which you can select and copy directly.
