Frequently Asked Questions
How does the color palette generator work?
The generator uses color theory algorithms to create harmonious color combinations from any base color you choose. Select a harmony type like complementary, analogous, or triadic, and the tool instantly calculates matching colors with proper hue spacing, saturation, and lightness balance for your design project.
What color harmony types are available?
The tool supports complementary (opposite hues), analogous (neighboring hues), triadic (three evenly spaced hues), split-complementary (a softer alternative to complementary), and monochromatic (single hue with varying lightness and saturation) color schemes. Each harmony creates a distinct visual mood suited to different design contexts.
How do I export a color palette for web development?
You can copy individual color codes in HEX, RGB, or HSL format, or export the entire palette as CSS custom properties, a Tailwind CSS config snippet, or a JSON array. This makes it easy to integrate your chosen color scheme directly into your stylesheet or design system.
Is my data safe?
Yes. All color calculations happen entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript. No color data is sent to any server, collected, or stored.
Can I lock specific colors while regenerating a palette?
Yes. Click the lock icon on any color swatch to keep it fixed while regenerating the remaining colors. This is useful when you already have a brand color and need to find complementary accent colors that work with your existing design system.
