Creating Effective Color Palettes for Web Design
Color is one of the most powerful tools in a designer's toolkit. It can evoke emotions, direct attention, and create visual harmony. Our Color Palette Generator helps you create professional color schemes with just a few clicks.
Understanding Color Harmony
Different types of color palettes create different effects:
- Analogous: Colors next to each other on the color wheel (calm, harmonious designs)
- Monochromatic: Variations of a single hue (clean, elegant look)
- Triadic: Three evenly spaced colors (balanced yet vibrant)
- Complementary: Opposite colors on the wheel (high contrast, vibrant)
Tips for Using Our Generator
- Start with a base color that represents your brand
- Experiment with different palette types to see what works best
- Use the 60-30-10 rule: 60% dominant color, 30% secondary, 10% accent
