Random Palette
Gradient Generator
What is This Tool?
A color palette generator creates harmonious color schemes for design projects, web development, and creative work. Generate random palettes, extract colors from specific rules (complementary, analogous, triadic), and get hex codes, RGB values, and CSS-ready color definitions.
Color theory forms the foundation of effective visual design. Complementary colors (opposite on the color wheel) create contrast, analogous colors (adjacent) create harmony, and triadic colors (evenly spaced) create vibrant, balanced palettes. This tool applies these principles to generate professional color schemes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What color formats are provided?
Colors are provided in HEX (#FF5733), RGB (rgb(255,87,51)), HSL (hsl(11,100%,60%)), and CSS-ready formats for direct use in code.
Can I lock specific colors?
Yes. Lock a base color and generate palettes around it using complementary, analogous, triadic, or monochromatic harmony rules.
Are palettes accessible?
While generated palettes are harmonious, always verify contrast ratios meet WCAG AA (4.5:1 for text) or AAA (7:1) standards for accessibility compliance.
