How are palettes generated?

Palettes use color theory algorithms based on the color wheel, ensuring harmonious relationships between colors (complementary, analogous, triadic, etc.).

Can I lock individual colors?

Yes. Click the lock icon on any color to keep it while regenerating the rest of the palette around it.

What color formats are available?

You can copy each color as HEX (#FF5733), RGB (rgb(255, 87, 51)), or HSL (hsl(11, 100%, 60%)).

Can I export the palette?

You can copy all color values at once. The palette display also works as a visual reference you can screenshot.
