Color Scheme Generator
Generate harmonious color schemes using the OKLCH color model with CSS variable output.
About Color Scheme Generator
Pick a base color, choose a harmony mode — complementary, triadic, analogous — and watch a full palette generate in real time using the OKLCH color model. Unlike older HSL-based tools, OKLCH keeps perceived lightness consistent across hues, so your swatches actually look balanced on screen rather than just measuring balanced on paper.
Every palette comes out as ready-to-paste CSS custom properties, which means dropping the result straight into a stylesheet takes seconds. It's the kind of tool that fits naturally into the developer tools workflow: less tab-switching, more shipping. If you also need gradients between those colors, Gradient Designer picks up right where this leaves off.
It runs entirely in the browser with no sign-in required — open it alongside your code editor on a wide monitor and you'll get the most out of the side-by-side comparison between the live preview and the generated variables.
