What is Color Palette Generator?
A colour palette generator creates a set of colours that work well together, giving designers a ready-made scheme to build from. This tool produces five colours at a time, shows their HEX codes, and lets you lock any colours you like before regenerating the rest — so you can evolve a palette until it feels right.
Clicking a swatch copies its HEX code instantly, ready to drop into CSS, a design tool or a brand guide.
How to Use the Color Palette Generator
- Click Generate Palette to create five random colours.
- Lock any colours you want to keep with the padlock icon.
- Generate again to refresh only the unlocked colours.

Tips for Getting the Best Results
To get the most from the Color Palette Generator, adjust the available options until the output matches exactly what your project needs — a few seconds of configuration up front saves you from reworking the result later. Because you can generate again and again at no cost, do not settle for the first output if it is not quite right; simply regenerate until you get something you are happy with.
When you produce something important, remember to copy or download it before leaving the page, since the Color Palette Generator does not store your results anywhere. This is a deliberate privacy choice: nothing you create is kept on a server. If you need a record, save it to your own device or paste it straight into the document, database or project where it belongs.
FAQ about Color Palette Generator
How do I keep a colour I like?
Click the padlock icon on a swatch to lock it. Locked colours stay put when you generate a new palette, so only the others change.
How do I copy a colour code?
Click anywhere on a swatch (except the padlock) to copy its HEX code straight to your clipboard.
Can I use these palettes commercially?
Yes. Colours cannot be copyrighted, so any palette you generate is free to use in personal or commercial projects.
Why does the text colour change?
The tool automatically shows black or white text depending on each colour's brightness, so the HEX code always stays readable.
