Generate palettes, shades, and design tokens from one color
Use the Color Palette Generator to turn one seed color into practical palettes for websites, apps, dashboards, brand drafts, and design systems. Choose a harmony mode, adjust the number of colors, inspect readable text colors for each swatch, and copy production-ready exports.
The tool runs in the browser and outputs HEX palettes, a 50-900 shade ramp, CSS custom properties, a Tailwind color object, and JSON for handoff or documentation.
Useful for
- Building a quick landing-page or product color system from one brand color.
- Creating shade ramps for buttons, backgrounds, borders, charts, and status states.
- Copying CSS variables or Tailwind colors without formatting the palette by hand.
- Checking which black or white text color is more readable on each generated swatch.
