About the Color Picker

Choosing one colour is easy; choosing the colours that work with it is the real job. Pick a base colour here and this tool computes the classic harmony palettes — complementary (opposite on the wheel), analogous (neighbours), triadic (evenly spaced) — plus a monochrome ladder, each swatch carrying its HEX, RGB and HSL values ready to copy. A random-colour button helps when you need a starting point rather than a refinement.

How to use the Color Picker

  1. Pick your base colour from the picker.
  2. Browse the generated harmony palettes.
  3. Click any swatch to copy its HEX code.
  4. Hit Random for fresh starting points.

Key features

What is a complementary colour?
The colour opposite yours on the colour wheel — blue/orange, red/green. Paired together, they create maximum contrast and vibrancy.
Which harmony should I use?
Analogous is safest for calm, cohesive designs; complementary suits bold calls-to-action; triadic gives balanced variety — useful for illustration and branding.
