FAQ Frequently Asked Questions

What color formats are provided?
The tool provides colors in multiple formats including HEX (#FF5733), RGB (255, 87, 51), HSL (14, 100%, 60%), and sometimes HSV values. This makes it compatible with different design tools and programming languages.
How does the palette generator create harmonious colors?
The generator uses color theory principles to create complementary, analogous, triadic, and monochromatic color schemes. It calculates mathematically pleasing color relationships based on the color wheel and design principles.
Can I save and export color palettes?
Yes, you can copy individual color codes or export entire palettes in various formats. The tool provides easy copying for hex codes and can generate CSS variables or design tool-compatible formats.
Are the generated palettes suitable for web accessibility?
The tool generates colors but does not automatically check contrast ratios. For accessibility compliance, always test color combinations against WCAG guidelines, especially for text-background combinations.
Can I create palettes from existing brand colors?
Absolutely! Enter your brand colors as starting points and generate complementary palettes. This helps maintain brand consistency while expanding your color options for different design elements.
