Material Palette Generator: Create a 50–900 Color Scale
Material Palette Generator creates a 10-step Material Design-style color scale, from 50 to 900, using a base color and an OKLch lightness ramp. Set the available options, generate the palette, then click any step to copy its value. Use the results in a Material theme, or prepare color values for tests, fixtures, and seed data.
Material Palette Generator is a browser-based tool for creating a Material Design-style color scale from a base color. It generates ten labeled steps, from 50 through 900, making it easier to build a Material color palette without choosing every value by hand. Use it to create a color scale for a theme, development data, or visual experiments.
The generator uses an OKLch lightness ramp to produce the scale. Start by setting the available options and generating the palette; each result is labeled by its step, such as 50, 100, or 900. Click a step to copy its value, then paste it where you need it. The workflow supports copying individual values for use in a Material theme, tests, fixtures, or seed data.
A single base color is one value, while a palette scale provides a set of related steps that can serve different needs in a theme or project. Material Palette Generator creates ten steps rather than requiring you to invent color values manually. The numbered labels make it straightforward to choose and reference a particular point in the scale.
The tool runs entirely in your browser: your input is processed on your device and is not sent to a server. No signup is required, and once the page has loaded, the generator works offline without a server connection. It is useful for developers and DevOps engineers preparing theme values, test data, fixtures, seed data, or color samples.
Step 1: Set the available options before generating your palette. The tool uses your settings to create the color scale.
Step 2: Generate the palette from a base color. The result is a 10-step Material Design-style scale labeled 50, 100, and so on through 900.
Step 3: Review the generated color values to find the steps you need for your theme, tests, or other project data.
Step 4: Click a palette step to copy its value, then paste it into your Material theme or project.
Use case: Prepare Material Palette values for tests, fixtures, or seed data. A generated scale gives you a consistent set of color steps to use in development.
Use case: Generate a whole batch of color values at once instead of inventing values by hand. This can make it faster to prepare palette data for a project.
Use case: Get properly random color values rather than guesses typed at a keyboard when you need colors for sample data or experiments.
Use case: Build a Material theme from a base color. The 50–900 scale gives you multiple steps to copy into the theme.
Use case: Create color values for a prototype or visual test. Copy individual steps as needed without manually recreating the scale.
Use case: Prepare a repeatable set of palette values for development work. The labeled steps make it easy to identify and reuse the colors you need.
