What does the Color Generator create?

It builds a five-color palette from a seed color using complementary, analogous, triadic, tetradic, and monochromatic harmonies.

Can I choose a specific harmony or adjust the seed?

Yes. Select a harmony and adjust the seed color's hue, saturation, and lightness with the controls to refine the resulting palette.

Does the tool generate random colors?

No. The palette is calculated from the seed color and selected harmony, so changing the seed or its HSL values is what changes the results.

No. Palette generation and saved colors stay entirely in your browser and are not sent to a server.
