Frequently Asked Questions
Complementary vs analogous palettes?
Complementary colors are opposite on the color wheel (blue/orange) for high contrast. Analogous are adjacent (blue/blue-green/green) for harmony. Triadic are evenly spaced for vibrant balance.
How many colors for a brand palette?
Most effective palettes use 3-5 colors: primary, secondary accent, neutral, and 1-2 supporting shades. Pick 2-3 generated colors plus black/white neutrals for a complete palette.
Can I generate dark mode palettes?
Yes. Start with a darker base color and generated harmonies will be darker. For light mode, use brighter base colors. Adjust base color lightness for your preferred theme.
