How to use a color palette generator
Choose a base color that must remain, such as a countertop, tile, sofa, roof, or favorite paint. Treat it as the anchor rather than trying to make every surface equally colorful.
Compare harmony families by mood. Analogous relationships tend to feel calm, complementary pairs create energy, and triadic or tetradic sets offer more variety with more balancing work.
Assign the palette by proportion: a dominant field color, a supporting material, and a smaller accent. Digital hex values are useful for comparison, but physical finishes still need in-person testing.
Formulas used
Analogous
base_hue ± 30°Uses neighboring hues for a quieter transition.
Triadic
base_hue + 120° and + 240°Spreads three anchors evenly around the wheel.
Tetradic
base_hue + 90° and + 180°Builds a four-color rectangle with additional contrast.
Frequently asked questions
What to know before you order.
Which color harmony is best for a home?
There is no universal winner. Analogous palettes are often restrained, complementary palettes add contrast, and triadic palettes can feel more expressive.
How many colors should a room or exterior use?
Begin with a dominant, supporting, and accent role. Add another color only when the architecture or material scheme gives it a clear job.
Are hex colors the same as paint colors?
No. Hex values describe screen color. Use them to compare directions, then match the result to physical samples.
