Frequently Asked Questions
How do I use the Color Palette Generator?
Press the spacebar (or click "Generate New Palette") to generate 5 random colors. Like a color? Click the lock icon to keep it, then generate again to only change the unlocked colors. Click any color to copy its HEX code.
What are color harmony modes?
Harmony modes generate colors based on color theory rules. Analogous uses colors adjacent on the color wheel. Complementary uses opposite colors. Triadic uses three evenly spaced colors. Monochrome uses variations of a single hue with different lightness.
How do I export my palette?
You can export in three formats: CSS Variables (ready to paste into your stylesheet), JSON (for use in JavaScript or design tools), or PNG (a visual image of your palette).
What's the difference between this and the Hex to RGB converter?
