Color Theory 101: How to Generate Beautiful Palettes for Your UI

The 60-30-10 Rule
A classic interior design rule applies perfectly to UI: 60% dominant color (neutral), 30% secondary color, and 10% accent color. But picking these colors so they harmonize is difficult.
Automated Harmony
Our Color Palette Generator uses algorithms based on color theory (Analogous, Complementary, Triadic) to create schemes that look professional instantly.
Accessibility Matters
