Because the colors differ mainly in lightness, monochromatic palettes are naturally friendly to color-blind users and it is easy to get good text contrast. The generator varies lightness in OKLCH so steps look even. Lock your brand color and the rest of the palette will follow its hue.

Frequently asked questions
Is a monochromatic palette boring?
Not if you use strong lightness contrast and a little texture or photography. Many premium brands use one hue plus neutrals.
Is PaletteKit free?
Yes. Every tool is free with no account, no watermark and no sign-up. Copy codes and download exports as often as you like.
Are my images and colours uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything runs in your browser. Photos you extract colours from and palettes you save never leave your device.
Can I use the colours commercially?
Yes. Colours and colour codes cannot be owned by us, and anything you create is yours to use in client work, apps, print and branding.
