Most design systems and 3D environment builds require a cohesive color theory to evoke specific emotions. In digital illustration, brand design, and cinematic look-development, you can create professional-grade color schemes by utilizing color harmony mathematics.

Our Color Palette Generator gives you a headstart for when you're creating assets in Figma, Adobe Creative Cloud, Blender, Unreal Engine, DaVinci Resolve, Webflow or VS Code. Create aesthetically pleasing and harmonized color palettes by selecting your base color and defining the Mood, Harmony, and Color Count. You can ensure your projects are visually balanced and emotionally resonant by using mathematically accurate Analogous, Monochromatic, or Triadic color schemes.

What is a Mood Color Palette Generator?

A Mood-Based Color Palette Generator is a tool that applies color psychology and color theory to create sets of colors that work together seamlessly. For digital artists and designers, selecting a "Harmony" (such as Complementary or Split-Complementary) ensures that the visual weight is balanced across a composition.

By choosing a specific Mood, our generator adjusts the saturation and value ranges to match the desired atmosphere—from "Vibrant and Energetic" to "Muted and Cinematic." This tool streamlines the workflow for creating Style Guides and Look-Dev boards, providing instant technical data for every swatch in the set.
