Moodboard Color Palette Generator

Generate color palettes (HEX codes) based on aesthetic vibes like dark, soft, or pastel.

How This Tool Works

This generator creates cohesive color palettes based on aesthetic vibes. Each palette contains 5 colors with HEX codes that work harmoniously together. Click on any color to copy its HEX code to your clipboard for use in design tools, CSS, or any application that accepts color codes.

The generator uses color theory principles to create palettes that are visually harmonious. Each vibe category (dark, soft, pastel, warm, cool, earthy) has predefined color ranges that share similar characteristics - whether that's saturation levels, brightness values, or hue families. When you select a vibe, the algorithm generates colors within those parameters, ensuring they work well together. The 5-color structure typically includes a primary color, secondary colors, accent colors, and neutral tones that provide balance and contrast.

HEX codes are 6-digit hexadecimal color representations (prefixed with #) that are universally recognized in web design, graphic design software, and digital applications. Each code represents a specific color by combining red, green, and blue values. The generator provides these codes so you can easily integrate the colors into your workflow - whether you're designing websites, creating graphics, developing apps, or working on any visual project. Simply click any color square to copy its HEX code, then paste it into your design tool of choice. The palettes are generated algorithmically, so you can generate multiple variations until you find the perfect combination for your project.
