FAQ
- How does the random color generator work?
- Each color is generated using random RGB values (0-255 for each channel). We then convert to HEX, HSL, HSV, and CMYK representations automatically.
- What color formats are supported?
- We display every color in HEX, RGB, HSL, HSV, and CMYK (approximation). Click Copy on any format to use it in your CSS, design tool, or print workflow.
- What are the palette modes?
- Complementary uses the opposite hue (180°), Analogous uses adjacent hues (±30°), Triadic uses three evenly-spaced hues (120° apart), and Monochrome varies lightness within the same hue.
- Is the contrast check WCAG compliant?
- Yes. We calculate contrast ratio per WCAG 2.1 guidelines. AA requires 4.5:1 for normal text, and we show whether the color passes on white or black backgrounds.
- Can I lock a color?
- Yes. Click Lock Color to keep the current color while generating palettes and gradients based on it.
