Work out colour palette harmony instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
Harmony schemes are fixed rotations around the 360 degree hue wheel, so a triad sits at 0, 120 and 240 degrees from the base and a complement at 180. Working in hue angles keeps a palette consistent when the base colour changes, which is why design systems store a base hue and derive the rest.
Palette hues
each hue = (base hue + scheme offset) mod 360
each hue = (base hue + scheme offset) mod 360. Harmony schemes are fixed rotations around the 360 degree hue wheel, so a triad sits at 0, 120 and 240 degrees from the base and a complement at 180.

Enter base hue, harmony scheme. The defaults shown are a realistic worked example — swap in your own figures to get a result you can use.
