How the triadic color scheme generator works
A triadic scheme takes three hues spaced 120° apart on the wheel (base, base+120°, base+240°), keeping saturation and lightness. The tool computes the two partner hues exactly and shows all three with HEX, HSL and OKLCH.
Triadic schemes are vibrant yet balanced because the three hues are equidistant. A common approach is to let one dominate and use the other two as accents.
Frequently asked questions
What is a triadic color scheme?
Three colors evenly spaced around the color wheel, 120° apart. It is balanced and vivid — think red, yellow, blue — and works well with one dominant color and two accents.
How do I make a triadic palette?
Take your base hue and add 120° and 240°. Enter a color and the tool returns the exact three-color set in HEX, HSL and OKLCH.
When should I use triadic over analogous?
Use triadic when you want contrast and energy with balance; use analogous (neighbouring hues) when you want a calmer, more unified look.
How do I keep a triad from looking garish?
Let one color lead and mute the other two (lower saturation or adjust lightness). The OKLCH codes make even lightness adjustments easy.
Is my color private?
Yes — everything is computed in your browser.
