Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between complementary and triadic palettes?+

Complementary uses two colors directly opposite each other on the color wheel (high contrast). Triadic uses three colors evenly spaced 120 degrees apart for a more balanced feel.

When should I use analogous colors?+

Analogous palettes (3 colors next to each other on the wheel) feel harmonious and calm. They're great for UI backgrounds, gradients, and serene illustrations.

Can I save my palettes?+

Right now you copy the hex codes directly. We're planning a 'save to local browser' feature in a future wave — your palettes will stay on your device, never on a server.
