Technical details

  • The first color matches the base one. With 2 colors you get the complement (180° apart); with 3, a triad (every 120°); with 4, a square scheme (every 90°).
  • The base color's saturation and lightness are kept. That's why starting from a gray, white or black gives identical colors: pick a color with some saturation.
  • Between 2 and 10 colors; click any of them to copy its HEX.
