Color Palette FAQ
What is a color palette?
A color palette is a curated set of colors designed to work together — typically 4 to 5 hex codes used consistently across a brand, website, or project. Every palette in this library is built on color theory harmony rules (complementary, analogous, triadic, split-complementary, tetradic).
How do I choose the right color palette?
Start from the emotion you want: warm palettes feel energetic and welcoming, cool palettes feel calm and trustworthy, dark palettes feel premium. Then pick a harmony rule to guarantee the colors work together. The generator does all of this automatically.
How many colors should a palette have?
Most professional palettes use 4–5 colors: a dominant color, one or two supporting colors, a neutral, and an accent. All 2402+ palettes in this library follow that structure.
Are these color palettes free to use?
Yes — every palette on ihatecolors is free for personal and commercial use. Copy the hex codes directly from any palette page, or export the full palette with its AI prompt.
