FAQ

What color formats are supported?

The tool supports HEX (3-digit and 6-digit), RGB, RGBA, HSL, and HSLA. You can input a value in any format and the tool will convert it to all the others instantly.

How does the palette generator work?

It uses color theory relationships on the color wheel. For example, a complementary palette picks the color directly opposite yours, while a triadic palette selects two colors evenly spaced at 120-degree intervals.

Can I use the generated colors in Figma or Sketch?

Absolutely. Copy the HEX or RGB value from the tool and paste it directly into the color input field in Figma, Sketch, or any other design application.
