Frequently Asked Questions
Your base color's hue is converted to HSL, then rotated on the color wheel: complementary is +180°, analogous is ±30° (two colors), and triadic is +120° and +240° (two colors) — all keeping the base color's original saturation and lightness.
Real computed hex codes for every palette color — you get exact, ready-to-use values, not just instructions like "rotate the hue by 180 degrees" that you'd have to calculate yourself.
No — it's straightforward hue-wheel math (classic color theory rules), not a perceptually-adjusted or AI-curated palette, so results are mathematically consistent rather than aesthetically fine-tuned.
No — the calculation happens entirely in your browser.
