Frequently Asked Questions

HEX (e.g. #FF6B6B), RGB (e.g. rgb(255, 107, 107)), HSL (e.g. hsl(0, 100%, 71%)), CMYK (e.g. C:0 M:58 Y:58 K:0), and HSB/HSV. Enter any value in any format and all others update instantly. HEX input can be 3-digit or 6-digit with or without the # prefix.

Monochromatic: different shades of one color. Analogous: colors adjacent on the color wheel (cohesive look). Complementary: opposite colors on the wheel (high contrast). Triadic: three evenly spaced colors (vibrant balance). Tetradic/Square: four evenly spaced colors (rich, complex). Split Complementary: a color and two neighbors of its complement (easier to balance than pure complementary).

Upload a photo, screenshot, or any image (JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP up to 10MB). The tool analyzes pixel colors in your browser and extracts the most prominent colors using your chosen method: Dominant Colors (most visually prominent), Average Colors (mathematical average of pixel clusters), or Vibrant Colors (saturated, attention-catching shades). Everything runs client-side — no image is uploaded to any server.

Linear gradient: colors transition in a straight line at a specified angle. Radial gradient: colors spread outward from a center point in a circular or elliptical pattern. Conic gradient: colors rotate around a center point like a color wheel or pie chart. All three generate a CSS background property value you can paste directly into your stylesheet.

CSS Custom Properties (CSS variables like --color-primary: #FF6B6B), JSON (an array of color objects with all format values), and copy-to-clipboard for individual color codes. CSS variables can be pasted directly into your stylesheet's :root block. JSON is useful for design tokens or configuration files. The gradient export generates the full CSS background-image property.

HSL stands for Hue (0-360°, the color), Saturation (0-100%, intensity), and Lightness (0-100%, brightness). Unlike RGB, HSL is intuitive for designers: to make a color lighter, increase Lightness; to make it less saturated, decrease Saturation; to shift the hue, change the Hue value. It maps directly to how designers think about color relationships, making it easy to create consistent palettes.

CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key/Black) is the color model used in print. RGB is for screens, CMYK is for printers. If you are preparing designs for physical print, your print vendor will need CMYK values. Note: conversion between RGB and CMYK is approximate since the two color spaces do not cover identical ranges — some vibrant screen colors cannot be exactly reproduced in print.

No. All color conversions, palette generation, gradient building, and image analysis run locally in your browser via JavaScript. Your images and color data never leave your device.

What Is a Color Palette Generator?

It is a tool that helps you build cohesive color schemes for websites, apps, or any design project. Instead of eyeballing colors, you pick a base color and the generator calculates harmonious combinations using color theory -- monochromatic, analogous, complementary, triadic, and more.

Convert Colors Instantly

Working with HEX in your CSS but need RGB for a JavaScript canvas? This tool converts between HEX, RGB, HSL, CMYK, and HSB in real time. Just enter a value in any format and see all the others update instantly. No guessing, no manual math.

Extract Colors from Any Image

Upload a photo or screenshot and let the tool pull out the dominant colors. It is perfect for building a palette that matches an existing brand, a mood board, or a photo you want to base your design on. Works with JPG, PNG, GIF, and WebP up to 10MB.

Generate CSS Gradients

Build linear, radial, or conic gradients visually, then copy the CSS code with one click. You can add as many color stops as you need, adjust the direction, and preview it live before using it in your project.

Privacy First
