Why Use a Color Palette Generator?

Finding colors that work well together can be tricky. Tooly helps by generating palettes based on color theory:

  • Harmony & Balance: Create visually pleasing combinations for websites, designs, or art.
  • Save Time: Quickly explore different color scheme options without manual guesswork.
  • Inspiration: Discover new color combinations you might not have considered.
  • Consistency: Establish a cohesive look and feel for your projects.

Tooly makes it easy to explore different harmonies!

Understanding Palette Types

Tooly can generate several types of palettes:

  • Complementary: Colors opposite each other on the color wheel (high contrast).
  • Analogous: Colors next to each other on the color wheel (harmonious, low contrast).
  • Triadic: Three colors evenly spaced around the color wheel (vibrant, balanced).
  • Tetradic (Rectangular): Four colors forming a rectangle on the wheel (two complementary pairs, rich variety).
  • Monochromatic: Variations in lightness and saturation of a single hue (subtle, elegant).
  • Shades: Adding black to the base color (darker variations).
  • Tints: Adding white to the base color (lighter variations).
  • Random: Generates a set of random, potentially unrelated colors.
