Complementary Color Generator
The complementary color is the one diametrically opposite on the HSL color wheel — exactly 180° away. Paste any color (hex `#RRGGBB`, `rgb()`, `hsl()`, or a CSS name) and this tool converts to HSL, rotates the hue by 180°, and converts back to RGB/hex. Complementary pairs offer the highest visual contrast and are a classic choice for accent buttons, headlines on backgrounds, or eye-catching call-to-actions. Runs entirely in your browser — your color never leaves the page.
