Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between random colors and color harmony modes?
Random mode generates completely random colors across the full spectrum, perfect for inspiration. Color harmony mode uses color theory to create complementary, analogous, or triadic color schemes based on your input color. Variations mode creates lighter and darker shades of a single base color. Choose based on whether you need diverse inspiration or cohesive color schemes.
How do I use the generated hex codes in my projects?
Simply click on any color to copy its hex code to your clipboard. You can paste these directly into CSS stylesheets (color: #FF6B6B), design software like Figma or Photoshop, or any application that accepts hex color values. The tool also shows RGB and HSL values if you need those formats for specific applications.
Can I generate colors based on my existing brand colors?
Yes! Use the 'Color Variations' or 'Color Harmony' modes and enter your brand color as the base color. Variations mode will create lighter and darker versions perfect for backgrounds, borders, and hover states. Harmony mode will generate complementary colors that work well with your brand color for accents and contrasts.
Are the generated colors suitable for web accessibility?
The tool generates colors across the full spectrum, so accessibility depends on how you use them. Light colors work best for backgrounds with dark text, while dark colors work for text on light backgrounds. Always test color combinations with accessibility checkers to ensure proper contrast ratios, especially for text and important UI elements.
How many colors can I generate at once?
You can generate between 1 and 12 colors in a single generation. This range covers most use cases - from single accent colors to comprehensive color palettes. For larger palettes, you can run the generator multiple times or use different modes to build a complete color system for your project.
