Color Wheel Theory

Color harmonies are based on mathematical relationships on the 360° color wheel, with 11 harmony types from complementary to six-tone.

HSL Conversion

Colors are converted to HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) to calculate harmonies, shades, tints, and mood-based palettes.

Generation Methods

Choose from harmony-based, shade/tint/tone, constrained random, WCAG contrast, gradient interpolation, image extraction, or mood-based generation.

Accessibility

Built-in WCAG contrast checking and color blindness simulation help ensure your palettes work for everyone.
