Complementary (opposite on the color wheel — high contrast), analogous (adjacent colors — harmonious and natural), triadic (three evenly spaced colors — vibrant and balanced), monochromatic (variations of one hue — clean and cohesive). Each has different use cases in design.

Consider your brand personality (warm colors for energy/excitement, cool colors for trust/calm), accessibility requirements (sufficient contrast ratios), cultural color associations, and the medium (print vs screen). Test your palette on actual UI components before finalizing.

WCAG guidelines require a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text. Use a contrast checker tool alongside your palette. Also consider color blindness — about 8% of males have some form of color vision deficiency. Avoid relying solely on color to convey information.

You can generate palettes with 3 to 10 colors. Use the size input to adjust. Smaller palettes (3-5) work well for UI design; larger palettes (6-10) are great for data visualization and charts.
