Wedding Colour Palette Generator
Build a wedding colour palette from a mood or a single colour.
Click a swatch to copy its hex code. Use the lock to keep a colour you like while the rest change.
A palette that holds together
Wedding colours usually go wrong in one of two ways: too many hues, or a set that looks fine on a screen and muddy in a church. A small, deliberate palette solves both.
Start from a mood or a colour you already love, then lock the swatches that work and regenerate the rest.
How to build a wedding palette
- Choose a mood, or set a base colour.
- Pick how many colours you need, usually three to five.
- Lock any swatch you want to keep.
- Copy the hex codes or download the palette card.
The schemes behind the palettes
- Analogous uses neighbours on the colour wheel. It is the safest scheme and reads as calm and cohesive.
- Complementary pairs opposite hues. Use one as the dominant colour and the other as an accent, never in equal amounts.
- Triadic uses three evenly spaced hues. It is bolder and works best with one strong colour and two muted ones.
- Monochrome uses one hue at different lightness levels. It is the easiest to dress a venue with.
Practical advice for wedding colours
Work from the venue. A room with dark wood and warm lighting will swallow cool greys. Ask for photos in the same light as your event.
Limit the palette. Three core colours plus a neutral covers almost everything: flowers, stationery, bridesmaids and table linen.
Test in print. Screens make colours brighter. Print a small sample of your stationery before ordering 150 invitations.
Leave room for flowers. Nature rarely matches a hex code exactly. Pick a palette that tolerates variation rather than one that demands a perfect match.
Using the output
The hex codes work in Canva, Figma, Illustrator and most print tools. The CSS copy is useful if you are building a wedding website.
For the rest of the planning, the Wedding Hashtag Generator names the day and Compress Image keeps the mood board small enough to email.
Frequently asked
How are the palettes generated?
The generator works in HSL colour space. It takes a base hue from your chosen mood or colour and builds a harmonious set using schemes such as analogous, complementary and triadic, then softens the result for wedding use.
Can I lock a colour I like?
Yes. Click the lock on a swatch and that colour stays while the rest regenerate.
Can I copy the hex codes?
Yes. Click a swatch to copy its hex code, or copy the whole palette as CSS variables.
Can I download the palette?
Yes. Download a PNG swatch card for a mood board or share it with your planner.
