Why this color wheel

A wheel that actually shows the harmony, not just a static image

FAQ

Still have questions?

What is a color wheel used for?

A color wheel maps every hue around a circle so you can see at a glance which colors sit near, opposite or evenly spaced from each other - the basis for choosing colors that work well together.

Why does this wheel use HSL instead of the traditional red-yellow-blue wheel?

The classic RYB wheel is a painting convention. Browsers, screens and CSS all work in RGB/HSL, so this wheel mirrors what a screen actually displays and the codes you copy match exactly what you see.

What do the harmony modes mean?

Each mode picks colors at a fixed angle from your base hue - complementary sits 180° away, triadic splits the wheel into three equal thirds, and so on. Switching modes moves the dots on the wheel instantly.

Does this tool store or upload my colors?

No. Every calculation happens locally in your browser. Nothing you pick or type is sent to a server.

Can I export a harmony to use in code?

Yes. Open the Export menu to copy CSS custom properties, SCSS variables, a Tailwind color config or raw JSON for the current base and harmony colors.

Can I share a wheel with someone else?

Yes. The base color, lightness and harmony mode are all encoded in the page URL, so copying the shareable link reproduces the exact same wheel for whoever opens it.
