Frequently Asked Questions

A good palette has sufficient contrast between colors, works in both light and dark modes, includes a primary action color, and maintains visual hierarchy. Our tool ensures your colors meet accessibility standards.

A typical portfolio needs 3-5 colors: a primary/brand color, a secondary accent, neutral colors for text and backgrounds, and possibly an error/success color. Our palettes include these essentials.

Color accessibility ensures sufficient contrast between text and backgrounds for readability, especially for users with visual impairments. We check against WCAG guidelines and show you which combinations pass.

Absolutely! Colors cannot be copyrighted, so any palette you generate is free to use in any project, personal or commercial, without attribution.

Export as CSS custom properties (variables), Tailwind CSS configuration, SCSS variables, JSON, or design tool formats compatible with Figma and Sketch. Copy any format with one click.
