Generates a saturated set suitable for a brand palette. The structure that works is one dominant colour, one supporting, one accent and two neutrals.
How to use the brand colour palette generator
A brand palette is a different problem from a pretty palette because it has to survive constraints a decorative one does not: it must work at one colour for a stamp or an invoice, it must be distinguishable from your competitors, and it must still be usable in ten years. Two practical tests worth applying to anything a generator gives you. Convert it to greyscale, if the primary and secondary become the same grey, they will be indistinguishable to anyone with a colour vision deficiency and in any monochrome reproduction. And check it against the two or three brands you sit beside in a listing, because a palette that is beautiful and identical to a competitor’s is a liability.
Questions
One dominant, one supporting, one accent and two neutrals. Five working colours is plenty.
If two colours become the same grey, they are indistinguishable in monochrome and to many colour-blind viewers.
The accent, usually. A whole palette at full saturation is exhausting and leaves no room for emphasis.
Not necessarily. A palette generator arranges hues; it says nothing about contrast. Check any text-on-background pair against the contrast checker before shipping it.
Hex for anything going into a design tool, HSL when you want to adjust lightness by hand, and OKLCH when you need two colours to look equally light; it is the only one of the four where that number means what you expect.
