Color Palette Generator
Start with one colour and get a whole scheme built around it. The six schemes are the classic relationships from colour theory — positions on the wheel relative to your starting colour — and each is shown as swatches with the hex codes ready to copy. Where a scheme has a known pitfall, the page says so rather than leaving you to discover it in production.

Analogous schemes are harmonious but low contrast, so pick one to lead and add a contrasting accent for calls to action.

Color Palette Generator — frequently asked questions
Analogous for something calm and cohesive, complementary when you need one element to stand out, triadic for something lively but balanced. Monochromatic is the safest for interfaces because contrast comes from lightness rather than hue.
