## Create a custom color palette for your brand

1. **Pick your company’s main color in the color palette maker**



Select your brand’s primary color. It'll be the color representing your brand the most and the foundation for the rest of your color scheme.

2. **Choose your complementary colors**



After you’ve chosen a primary color, our color picker automatically suggests three complementary colors for your brand. You can continue generating different color combinations until you have a scheme that creates the visual effect you want.



Choosing different shades of the same color creates a calm and harmonious feeling. However, if you want to generate more excitement, you can use contrast by choosing colors opposite one another on the color wheel (such as blue and orange).

3. **Choose a color scheme from the generator**



Our color scheme generator will provide several full-color palette options that add neutral tones to your chosen primary and complementary colors. Choose the best color palette for your brand based on the visual impression and feelings generated by the colors.

4. **Customize your color palette**



Customize your palette by editing any colors generated by the color palette creator until it is a perfect fit for your brand. Once you’ve selected your color palette, it will automatically be applied to the [logo you created in the brand kit generator](/brand-kit-generator/free-logo-maker).



You’ll also get hex codes and swatches for each color so you can add them to a brand identity book and use them in templates and designs.
