Seed colour

Every palette is built from this colour, and — except for analogous, which sits symmetrically around it — the seed itself is the first swatch.

Relationship

The seed and its opposite — maximum hue contrast.

How it works

1Set the colour you are building around — a brand colour, or one pulled out of a photo.
2Pick the relationship. Complementary is the highest-contrast pair, analogous is the calmest, triadic sits in between.
3Choose how many colours you need — extra swatches step through lightness rather than repeating a hue.
4Copy a hex, take the CSS custom properties, or download the strip as a PNG.
