Programming a simple color scheme generator

Question

we are developing a cms website in C # and want to integrate / develop a small and simple color scheme generator like colorschemedesigner.com (of course, easier) to automatically offer color matching for templates (for body background, text, title, etc.).

There are 6 ways to create color on this website. We would like to reprogram the logic of the "accented analog" algorithm.

Does anyone know how easy it is to understand, or where we could find more information about this topic. How to programmatically find a set of harmonizing colors for a given base?

Or are there any third-party controls that can do the job? For instance. expanded expanded set of colors or something like that.

Answer 1

Adobe Kuler is pretty good at that. If you want to take a look at a theory that defines how Kuler creates color schemes, you can look at examples like this on color theory .

You can start by creating a wheel, then using the diagram definitions in this link — or others — to determine which colors to choose based on their position on the wheel (for example, a similar diagram above).

I found this useful in the past. Random pastel color generator

Code in C # can be found on the page above.
