FAQ

How are the palettes calculated?

Each palette is computed from the HSL color wheel: analogous takes neighboring hues, complementary takes opposite hues, triadic takes three evenly spaced hues, and pastel uses soft, high-lightness colors.

Can I lock more than one color?

Yes. Lock as many as you like — generating again will only reshuffle the unlocked swatches.

Is there a download option?

Click any swatch to copy its hex code and paste it into your design tool. All processing is local to your browser.
