What is a color palette generator?
A color palette generator creates a set of colors that naturally work together. It takes one base color and uses color wheel relationships to build a matching scheme. Designers use these palettes for websites, posters, apps and branding so that headings, buttons and backgrounds always feel like part of one visual system instead of random shades.
