What is a color wheel

The color wheel helps you build harmonious palettes. It arranges hues in a circle, so the relationships between colors can be described by angles: the complementary color sits opposite at 180°, analogous colors are neighbours 30° away, a triadic scheme uses three hues 120° apart, a tetradic one uses four hues 90° apart, and a split-complementary scheme pairs a color with the two hues on either side of its complement.

Pick a base color in the color dialog or type its HEX code, and all five schemes update instantly. The tool rotates only the hue and keeps the saturation and lightness of your base color, so every swatch has the same intensity. Click any swatch to copy its HEX code, or hover over it to see the RGB value. For a calm design, use one color as the main one and the others as accents.
