Frequently Asked Questions
What is an analogous color palette?
An analogous palette uses colors that sit directly adjacent to each other on the 360-degree color wheel (e.g., rotating +/- 15 to 30 degrees). It creates unified, serene, and comfortable visual harmonies.
What is a complementary color scheme?
A complementary scheme combines colors that are directly opposite each other on the color wheel (180 degrees apart). It creates maximum contrast and visual energy.
What is a triadic color palette?
A triadic palette selects three colors evenly spaced around the color wheel (120 degrees apart), offering vibrant contrast while maintaining balance.
Can I use these palettes in CSS or Figma?
Yes. Each swatch provides a one-click copy button for its HEX code, ready to paste directly into CSS stylesheets, Tailwind config, or UI design software.
