Color Picker & Gradient Generator

Our comprehensive color picker tool is designed for designers, developers, and creators who need precise color selection and manipulation. Whether you're building a website, designing a brand identity, creating digital art, or developing an application, our tool provides everything you need for professional color work in one intuitive interface.

Professional Color Picking Features

Select colors with precision using our advanced color picker that supports multiple color formats. Work with HEX codes for web development, RGB values for digital design, or HSL for intuitive color adjustments. All formats are displayed simultaneously and update in real-time as you adjust any value, making it easy to work in your preferred color space while having access to all format variations.

Gradient Generator with Unlimited Stops

Create stunning CSS gradients with our intuitive gradient generator. Unlike basic tools limited to two colors, our gradient maker supports unlimited color stops, giving you complete creative control. Adjust the position of each stop, change colors on the fly, rotate the gradient angle from 0 to 360 degrees, and instantly copy the generated CSS code to use in your projects. Perfect for creating backgrounds, buttons, hero sections, and modern UI elements.

Color Harmony Generator

Discover perfectly matched color combinations using color theory principles. Our harmony generator creates complementary colors (opposite on the color wheel), analogous colors (adjacent colors), triadic schemes (three evenly spaced colors), split-complementary, tetradic (four-color harmonies), and monochromatic palettes (different shades of one color). This feature is invaluable for creating cohesive color schemes for branding, web design, UI/UX projects, and graphic design work.

Shades and Tints Generator

Generate complete shade and tint variations of any color automatically. Our tool creates nine variations from very light (10% lightness) to very dark (90% lightness), perfect for establishing design systems, creating color tokens, defining CSS variables, and maintaining consistent color usage across large projects. Use these variations for hover states, active states, disabled elements, backgrounds, borders, and text colors.

Real-Time Color Conversion

Convert between HEX, RGB, and HSL formats instantly. Adjust colors using RGB sliders (Red, Green, Blue channels from 0-255), HSL controls (Hue 0-360°, Saturation 0-100%, Lightness 0-100%), or direct HEX input. The tool automatically converts your changes to all other formats, ensuring you always have the color code you need for your specific use case, whether working with CSS, design software, or code.

Color History and Quick Access

Never lose track of colors you've used. Our color picker automatically saves your last 10 selected colors in an easily accessible history panel. Click any historical color to instantly return to it, compare colors side by side, or build color palettes from previously used colors. Perfect for maintaining consistency across multi-day projects or quickly retrieving brand colors.

One-Click Copy to Clipboard

Copy any color code or gradient CSS with a single click. Every color format, gradient code, and harmony color has a dedicated copy button that instantly places the code on your clipboard. Visual confirmation shows when colors are copied successfully. No more manual typing or copy-paste errors - just click and paste into your code editor or design software.

Perfect for Web Development

Web developers love our tool for CSS color work. Generate exact HEX codes for styling, create RGB values for JavaScript color manipulation, use HSL for dynamic color theming, copy gradient CSS for modern backgrounds, and build comprehensive color systems for large applications. The tool outputs production-ready code that works immediately in any CSS, Sass, Less, or styled-components setup.

Essential for Designers

Designers use our color picker for brand identity development, UI/UX color selection, creating accessible color combinations, building design system foundations, and ensuring color consistency across projects. The harmony generator helps create professional color palettes that follow color theory principles, while the shades generator provides all the variations needed for comprehensive design systems.

Use Cases and Applications

Website Design: Choose colors for headers, buttons, backgrounds, text, links, and accents. Create gradient backgrounds for hero sections and modern UI elements.

Brand Identity: Develop primary, secondary, and accent color palettes. Generate color variations for different brand touchpoints and applications.

App Development: Select UI colors for mobile and desktop applications. Create color schemes that work across light and dark modes.

Digital Art: Pick precise colors for illustrations, graphics, and creative work. Build custom color palettes for specific artistic styles.

Marketing Materials: Choose colors for social media graphics, presentations, infographics, and promotional content.

Color Theory Integration

Understanding color theory improves design quality. Our harmony generator implements proven color theory principles: complementary colors create high contrast and visual interest, analogous colors provide harmonious and natural-looking combinations, triadic schemes offer vibrant and balanced palettes, split-complementary provides contrast while maintaining harmony, and monochromatic schemes create sophisticated and unified designs. Use these scientifically-backed combinations to create professional designs without extensive color theory knowledge.

Best Practices for Color Selection

Start with a primary brand color and use the harmony generator to find complementary colors. Generate shades and tints to create a complete color system with variations for different use cases. Test color combinations for sufficient contrast, especially for text readability. Use gradients sparingly for impact - they work best for headers, hero sections, buttons, and accent elements. Save frequently used colors in your history for quick access. Consider color psychology and cultural associations when choosing colors for global audiences.

Why Choose Our Color Picker

Unlike basic color pickers, our tool combines multiple professional features in one interface: unlimited gradient stops (most tools limit you to 2-3), six different harmony types (basic tools offer only complementary), automatic shade generation (saves hours of manual work), real-time format conversion (no separate conversion tools needed), color history tracking (never lose a color again), and professional-grade controls for precise adjustments. Everything is free, requires no registration, and works entirely in your browser with no data collection.
