Frequently Asked Questions
How do I save a palette?
While we don't have a database save feature yet, you can simply copy the HEX codes of the colors you like. Many developers find it useful to paste these directly into their project's README or a CSS file.
Can I generate more than 5 colors?
Currently, our generator is optimized for a standard 5-color design system, which is common for most web applications (Primary, Secondary, Success, Warning, Neutral). We may add support for larger palettes in a future update.
Are these colors web-safe?
The generator uses a full 16-million color hex range. Modern browsers and devices support this entire spectrum perfectly. If you are concerned about accessibility (AA/AAA contrast), we recommend using our Color Contrast Checker tool once you've picked your favorites.
