      Modifier and Type Method Description
      static int[] complementary()
      Generates a complementary color palette consisting of two colors that are diametrically opposite on the color wheel.
      static int[] randomcolors​(int ncolors)
      Generates a palette of randomly selected colors using the golden ratio for hue distribution, which tends to produce aesthetically pleasing results.
      static int[] randomRandomcolors​(int ncolors)
      Generates a palette of completely random colors without any constraints on hue distribution, saturation, or brightness.
      static int[] tetradic()
      Generates a tetradic color palette consisting of four colors that are evenly spaced around the color wheel, offering a diverse range of hues.
      static int[] triadic()
      Generates a triadic color palette consisting of three colors that are evenly spaced around the color wheel, creating a harmonious and balanced color scheme.
