About this tool
Choosing colors that work well together is hard to do from scratch. This generator produces a random 5-color palette each time, drawing from complementary, analogous, or monochromatic color theory schemes based on hue relationships, so the results feel intentional rather than arbitrary.
How to use it
- 1Click "Generate new palette" to get a fresh set of five colors.
- 2Click any swatch to copy its HEX code.
- 3Keep generating until you find a palette you like.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Using a generated palette without checking contrast for text — a visually pleasing palette isn't automatically accessible for foreground/background text combinations.
Use cases
- Finding a starting color scheme for a design or brand.
- Getting unstuck when choosing accent colors for a UI.
Frequently asked questions
What color theory does this use?
Palettes are generated using complementary, analogous, or monochromatic hue relationships, chosen randomly each time you generate — all standard color theory approaches to building schemes that feel cohesive.
