🌈 Analogous Color Scheme Generator
Enter a base color and get its analogous scheme — neighbouring hues about 30° apart — for a calm, cohesive palette.

How the analogous color scheme generator works
An analogous scheme uses hues adjacent on the wheel — typically base−30°, base, base+30° (and optionally ±60°) — at the same saturation and lightness. The tool computes the neighbours exactly and shows them with HEX, HSL and OKLCH.
Analogous colors sit next to each other on the wheel, so they blend naturally — the look of a sunset or a forest. Pick one as the dominant color and use the neighbours for support.
Frequently asked questions
What is an analogous color scheme?
A set of colors next to each other on the wheel, usually about 30° apart. Because the hues are close, the palette feels calm and cohesive — common in nature scenes.
How do I create an analogous palette?
Take your base hue and step ±30° (and optionally ±60°). Enter a color and the tool returns the neighbouring hues in HEX, HSL and OKLCH.
How is analogous different from triadic?
Analogous hues are close together for a unified, low-contrast look; triadic hues are 120° apart for a vivid, high-contrast balance.
How many analogous colors should I use?
Three to five works well: one dominant, the rest as support. Vary lightness (see the OKLCH values) to add depth without breaking the harmony.
Is my color uploaded?
No — the computation runs in your browser.
