Frequently Asked Questions About Color Palette Generator
What is a complementary color scheme?
Complementary colors sit opposite each other on the color wheel (180° apart). They create strong, high-contrast pairings. Analogous colors sit next to each other for a calmer, harmonious look, while triadic uses three evenly spaced hues.
What is the difference between shades and monochromatic?
Both keep the same hue. Monochromatic varies lightness around your base color for a balanced set, while shades and tints step from light to dark for a gradient-like ramp of one color.
Can I use these palettes in CSS?
Yes. Every color is a standard hex code you can paste straight into CSS, design tools, or anywhere else. Click a swatch to copy one, or Copy All to grab the set.
