What is a Color Wheel and Color Harmony?

A color wheel is a visual representation of colors arranged by their chromatic relationship. Color harmony refers to the pleasing arrangement of colors that work well together. Our interactive tool helps you create mathematically balanced color combinations using traditional color theory principles like complementary (opposite), triadic (three evenly spaced), and analogous (adjacent) color schemes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What color harmony types are available?

The tool offers 6 harmony types: Complementary (2 opposite colors), Monochromatic (variations of one color), Analogous (3 adjacent colors), Triadic (3 evenly spaced colors), Tetradic (4 evenly spaced colors), and Split-Complementary (1 color + 2 colors adjacent to its complement).

How do I adjust the brightness of colors?

Use the outer luminance ring around the color wheel. Click and drag on this ring to adjust the lightness/darkness of all colors in your harmony while maintaining their hue and saturation relationships.

Can I copy individual colors?

Yes, click on any color swatch to copy its value to your clipboard. You can switch between HEX, RGB, HSL, and CMYK formats using the format selector buttons.

What export formats are supported?

You can export as PNG images, PDF documents, JSON data, CSS variables, SCSS variables, and Tailwind CSS configuration files. Each format is optimized for different use cases.

How do I use the generated CSS variables?

Copy the CSS variables from the export modal and paste them into your stylesheet. You can then use them like: background-color: var(--color-1); or color: var(--color-2);

Can I drag harmony colors individually?

Yes, you can drag any harmony color point to adjust the entire palette. The main color will automatically recalculate to maintain the mathematical relationship of the selected harmony type.
