Frequently Asked Questions
What color harmonies are available?
Complementary, analogous, triadic, split-complementary, tetradic (rectangle), and monochromatic. Each harmony produces a mathematically balanced palette based on color wheel relationships.
What does the accessibility check show?
WCAG contrast ratios between color pairs, indicating whether text in one color is readable against another as a background. A ratio of 4.5:1 or higher meets the AA standard for normal text.
How is this different from the Color Palette Generator?
The Explorer focuses on browsing and understanding color relationships with visual harmony wheels. The Generator uses AI-assisted algorithms to produce creative palettes from a seed color with export options.
Can I export palettes for use in my project?
Yes. Copy individual color values in HEX, RGB, or HSL format. Use the generated palette directly in your CSS, design tool, or any application that accepts color codes.
