Frequently Asked Questions

What is color harmony?
Color harmony refers to the principle that certain color combinations are naturally pleasing to the eye based on their positions on the color wheel. Complementary, analogous, and triadic combinations are common examples.
How many colors does each palette type generate?
Complementary generates 2 colors, analogous generates 3, triadic generates 3, split-complementary generates 3, and monochromatic generates 5 tints and shades of the base color.
Can I use these palettes in commercial projects?
Absolutely. Color combinations are not copyrightable. The generated HEX, RGB, and HSL values are yours to use in any personal or commercial project freely.
