Frequently Asked Questions
What are Tailwind CSS arbitrary value classes and why are they useful?
Tailwind CSS arbitrary value classes like bg-[#ff5733] allow you to use any color value directly in your HTML without defining custom CSS. They're useful because you can use exact hex colors while maintaining Tailwind's utility-first approach and getting all the benefits of Tailwind's other utilities like hover states, responsive design, and dark mode variants.
How does the brightness and saturation control affect color generation?
The brightness control filters colors based on their lightness value in HSL color space - light colors have high lightness (70-90%), dark colors have low lightness (10-30%), and medium brightness falls in between. Saturation control affects color vibrancy - vivid colors have high saturation (80-100%), muted colors have low saturation (20-40%), creating more subtle, professional-looking palettes.
Can I use the generated colors in design systems other than Tailwind CSS?
Absolutely! While this tool specializes in Tailwind CSS classes, the hex codes work universally in any CSS framework, design tool, or application. You can copy the hex values and use them in Bootstrap, Material-UI, styled-components, Figma, Adobe products, or any other design system. The color information (RGB, HSL) also helps with integration into different platforms.
What does the accessibility checker tell me about my generated colors?
The accessibility checker calculates WCAG contrast ratios between your generated colors and common backgrounds (white, black, or custom). It shows whether the contrast meets AA (4.5:1) or AAA (7:1) standards for normal text, and AA (3:1) for large text. This helps ensure your colors will be readable and accessible to users with visual impairments, making your designs more inclusive.
How can I export or save the generated color palettes for later use?
You can copy individual hex codes or Tailwind classes using the copy buttons next to each color. For bulk usage, copy all hex codes at once using the 'Copy All Classes' button, or manually select and copy the entire results section. The colors work immediately in any design tool or code editor, and you can save them in your project's color variables or design system documentation.
