Analogous Color Generator

neighbouring hues · choose how many · click to copy

Analogous colours sit next to each other on the wheel, so they always feel harmonious — think of a sunset sliding from red through orange to yellow. Pick a base colour and how many steps you want; the palette spreads evenly around it. Computed in your browser; click a swatch to copy its hex.

Ready.

When to use analogous colours

Because the hues are close, an analogous palette is soothing and cohesive — ideal for backgrounds, gradients, nature themes, and anywhere you want unity over contrast. The usual advice: let one colour dominate, support it with the neighbours, and if you need a focal point, borrow a single accent from the opposite side of the wheel.

FAQ

How many analogous colors should I use?

Three to five is typical. More than that and the ends start to feel like different hues rather than neighbours. Adjust the count above to taste.

Need more contrast instead?

Try complementary or triadic schemes.
