What is Color Theory?

Color theory is a set of principles used to create harmonious color combinations. It involves understanding how colors interact with each other and how they can be used to create effective designs. Our color palette generator uses these principles to create beautiful, harmonious color schemes that work well together in any design project.

Color Harmony Types

  • Complementary: Colors opposite on the color wheel for high contrast
  • Triadic: Three colors evenly spaced on the color wheel
  • Analogous: Colors next to each other for harmonious blends
  • Split Complementary: A base color and two adjacent to its complement
  • Tetradic: Four colors forming a rectangle on the color wheel
  • Monochromatic: Variations of a single color for subtle harmony

Color Properties

  • Hue: The color itself (red, blue, green, etc.)
  • Saturation: The intensity or purity of the color
  • Lightness: How light or dark the color appears
  • Temperature: Warm or cool feeling of the color

Use Cases

  • Web design and user interface development
  • Graphic design and branding projects
  • Interior design and home decoration
  • Fashion design and clothing coordination
  • Art and creative projects
  • Marketing and advertising materials

Frequently Asked Questions:

What does 'Color Harmony' mean?

Color harmony refers to the theory of combining colors in a way that is pleasing to the eye. Our tool uses standard harmony rules (like complementary, triadic, etc.) to generate palettes that are balanced and visually appealing.

How can I use the exported CSS?

When you export to CSS, the tool generates custom properties (variables) for each color in the palette. You can copy and paste this code into your stylesheet and use these variables (e.g., `var(--color-1)`) throughout your project for a consistent theme.
