Color Picker

Color Picker

Choose your color by clicking and dragging within the picker area. Input specific Hex, RGB, HSL, or CMYK values below the color swatch to find exact shades. Add selected colors to your palette by clicking the swatch, and explore various harmonies using the dropdown menu for creative inspiration.

Color Harmonies

Color harmonies are visually pleasing combinations based on the color wheel. Also known as color chords, these harmonies are ideal for building cohesive color palettes or standalone color schemes.

Complementary Colors

Complementary colors lie opposite each other on the color wheel. These high-contrast colors work well as accents when paired with neutral tones for balance.

Triadic Colors

Triadic harmonies include three evenly spaced colors on the color wheel, creating vibrant schemes. For the best effect, let one color dominate while the other two serve as accents.

Tetradic Colors

Tetradic harmonies feature two complementary pairs spaced 60 degrees apart. These dynamic color schemes are perfect for complex palettes and can be refined by adjusting shades, tints, and tones.

Analogous Colors

Analogous colors sit next to each other on the color wheel, creating natural, cohesive looks. Adding a complementary color can provide contrast to make these schemes more versatile.

Neutral Colors

Neutral harmonies are like analogous schemes but use closer colors, typically 15 degrees apart. This subtle arrangement creates a smooth, harmonious flow between colors.

Color Shades, Tints, and Tones

Shades, tints, and tones offer endless variations by adding black, white, or gray to colors. These adjustments are commonly used in web design for backgrounds, typography, and contrast. Try them out with the dropdown menu below the color picker.

Color Shades

Shades are darker versions created by adding black to a color. These rich tones work well for hover effects, headers, and footers.

Color Tints

Tints are lighter versions made by adding white. They’re ideal for hover effects or soft background colors for modals and cards.

Color Tones

Tones are subtle variations achieved by adding gray to a color, providing endless possibilities. Though less common in web design, tones can add depth to elements like quotes, comments, and highlights.
