Frequently Asked Questions
Is this color palette generator free to use?
Yes, it's completely free, with no sign-up and no limit on how many palettes you can generate.
What's the difference between the color schemes?
Monochromatic uses shades and tints of a single hue for a cohesive, low-contrast look. Analogous pulls colors that sit next to each other on the color wheel for a harmonious feel. Complementary pairs opposite hues for high contrast. Triadic uses three evenly spaced hues for a balanced but vibrant combination. Random mixes hues freely for maximum variety.
Can I keep a color I like while generating new ones?
Yes — click the lock icon on any swatch before generating again, and that color will stay in place while the rest of the palette updates.
How do I use the exported CSS?
Clicking "Export CSS" copies a :root block with each color saved as a CSS custom property (for example, --color-1), which you can paste directly into your stylesheet and reference anywhere with var(--color-1).
Does this tool store or save my palettes?
No — palettes are generated entirely in your browser and aren't saved or logged anywhere. Use the "Export CSS" button to save a palette you want to keep.
Will the colors look the same on every screen?
HEX and RGB values are exact, but how a color appears can vary slightly between monitors depending on screen calibration and color profile.
Can I use these palettes commercially?
Yes — colors themselves aren't copyrightable, so any palette generated here is free to use in personal or commercial projects.
