Once I have the hex value of the color I need, the second place I visit most often is Coolors.co – a free generator where each press of the spacebar creates a new color palette.
We can create palettes from scratch or match them to specific colors. This is how I use it. I paste the hex value of the client's colors and click the padlock (the icon visible on the color rectangle). This locks a given color and after pressing the spacebar, selects the next ones that match it. In this way, I expand the palette of available colors or create their variations.
