Frequently asked questions
Does this work without uploading anything?
Yes. The tool processes your input inside the browser tab. Nothing is sent to a processing server or stored in an account.
Can I change the result before copying it?
Yes. Adjust any available control and the result updates. Copy it only when the output matches what you need.
Which browsers are supported?
Current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari support the browser features used here. Very old browsers may lack a required API.
Which harmony to reach for
Complementary gives the strongest contrast and suits a single accent. Analogous stays calm and suits backgrounds. Triadic and tetradic need one color to lead and the rest to support.
- A harmony hands you hues, not a hierarchy. Pick one to carry most of the page and keep the others for accents.
- Check any pair you plan to put text on with the contrast checker before you commit to it.
