How It Works

Color Theory & Palette Generation:

Our color picker uses established color theory principles to generate harmonious palettes:

  1. Complementary: Colors opposite on the color wheel (high contrast)
  2. Triadic: Three colors equally spaced (vibrant, balanced)
  3. Analogous: Adjacent colors on the wheel (harmonious)
  4. Monochromatic: Variations of the same hue (cohesive)
  5. Tetradic: Four colors forming a rectangle (complex, rich)

Accessibility Analysis:

  • WCAG AA compliance (4.5:1 contrast ratio for normal text)
  • WCAG AAA compliance (7:1 contrast ratio for enhanced accessibility)
  • Large text requirements (3:1 minimum ratio)
  • Luminance calculation and suggested text colors
