Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between harmonies?
Analogous uses adjacent colors (soft), complementary uses opposites (high contrast), triadic and tetradic spread three or four equidistant colors (balance and vitality), and monochromatic varies saturation and lightness of a single hue.
How do I copy a single color?
Click any swatch in the palette and its HEX code will be copied to the clipboard automatically.
