Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a color palette?
- A color palette is a set of colors chosen to work together in a design. Palettes help create visual harmony across a website, brand, or illustration.
- What is a complementary color scheme?
- A complementary scheme pairs colors that sit opposite each other on the color wheel. These high-contrast combinations make elements stand out.
- What is an analogous color scheme?
- An analogous scheme uses colors that sit next to each other on the color wheel. The result is calm and cohesive, great for subtle, natural designs.
- What is a triadic color scheme?
- A triadic scheme uses three colors evenly spaced around the color wheel. It offers strong contrast while staying balanced and vibrant.
- What color formats can I copy?
- Click any swatch to copy its HEX code. The tool also displays the RGB value for each color so you can use it in CSS, design apps, or code.
- What is the WCAG contrast ratio?
- The WCAG contrast ratio measures the legibility between two colors, from 1:1 to 21:1. Higher ratios are easier to read and help meet accessibility guidelines.
