Frequently Asked Questions

Color harmony refers to color combinations that are pleasing to the eye. Common harmonies include complementary (opposite colors), analogous (adjacent colors), and triadic (three evenly spaced colors).

Most design palettes use 3-5 colors: a primary, secondary, accent, and 1-2 neutrals. This provides variety while maintaining cohesion.

For web development, HEX codes are most common. CSS variables work well for theming. Tailwind config is ideal for Tailwind CSS projects.

Complementary uses two opposite colors on the color wheel (high contrast). Split-complementary uses a base color plus two colors adjacent to its complement (similar contrast but more nuanced).

Monochromatic palettes (variations of one hue) create sophisticated, cohesive designs. Use them for minimalist interfaces, when emphasizing content over color, or to convey elegance and simplicity.

Shades (darker) and tints (lighter) provide depth and hierarchy. Use lighter tints for backgrounds and hover states, darker shades for text and borders. This creates visual interest within a consistent color family.

Neutrals (grays, beiges) provide visual rest between vibrant colors. They're essential for text, backgrounds, and borders. Good palettes balance bold accent colors with subtle neutrals.

WCAG requires 4.5:1 contrast ratio for normal text, 3:1 for large text. Use darker colors for text on light backgrounds. The preview section shows contrast—aim for readable text in all combinations.

This tool generates palettes from color theory. To extract colors from images, use our color picker or image palette extractor tools, then input the extracted colors here to build harmonies.

Triadic or split-complementary work well for brands needing 3-4 distinct colors. Complementary creates bold, energetic palettes. Analogous feels cohesive and professional. Test different harmonies to match your brand personality.
