Question 1

How do I use the color palette generator?

Accepted Answer

Enter a color in any supported format (HEX, RGB, HSL), and the generator will create a full palette with color harmonies, variations (tints, shades, tones), and a 50 to 900 scale.

Question 2

What color formats are supported?

Accepted Answer

The generator supports HEX (#RGB or #RRGGBB), RGB (rgb(255, 0, 0)), RGBA (rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.5)), HSL (hsl(360, 100%, 50%)), and HSLA (hsla(360, 100%, 50%, 0.5)).

Question 3

What are color harmonies?

Accepted Answer

Color harmonies are combinations of colors that are pleasing to the eye. The generator creates complementary (opposite), analogous (adjacent), triadic (three equidistant), split-complementary, and tetradic (four equidistant) harmonies.

Question 4

What are tints, shades, and tones?

Accepted Answer

Tints are created by adding white (increasing lightness), shades by adding black (decreasing lightness), and tones by adding gray (reducing saturation). Each variation shows 5 progressive steps.

Question 5

What is the scale section?

Accepted Answer

The scale creates a 10-step gradient from 50 to 900. Your base color is placed at step 500, with lighter steps above and darker steps below.
