Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about this tool.

How are color palettes generated from an image?

The tool uses k-means clustering to extract the dominant colors. The number of colors (3-10) is configurable. Each color includes its hex value and name.

Can I generate a monochromatic palette from a base color?

Yes. Enter a hex color and select "Monochromatic" to generate shades, tints, and tones of that color.

What color harmony rules are available?

Complementary, analogous, triadic, tetradic, split-complementary, and square. Each rule generates 3-5 colors that work well together.

Can I export the palette as CSS variables?

Yes. Click "Export CSS" to get a :root block with --color-1 through --color-N variables. Also supports SCSS variables and Tailwind config.

Does the tool show contrast ratios between colors?
