Frequently asked questions
How do I make a palette?
Press the Space bar (or Generate). Lock the colours you like and press Space again — only the unlocked ones change. Click a HEX code to fine-tune it.
Which harmony modes are there?
Auto, analogous, monochromatic, complementary, triadic, split complementary, tetradic, pastel, vivid, dark and moody, earthy, and neutrals with an accent — all made in OKLCH so lightness steps look balanced.
Can I see the palette on a real design?
Yes — “Website preview” applies it to a sample page, “Contrast” shows which pairs are readable, and “Colour blindness” shows the palette as people with colour vision deficiency see it.
How do I export or share it?
Export as CSS, SCSS, Tailwind, JSON, PNG, SVG, GIMP/Inkscape .gpl or Adobe .ase — or copy the link; the palette is stored in it. Save favourites in your browser with Save.
How many colours should a palette have?
Five is a good start: one or two main colours, a neutral for backgrounds and text, and an accent for buttons and links.
