Frequently Asked Questions

What is a color picker tool?

A color picker tool is an interactive utility that helps designers and developers select and visualize colors for their projects. It allows you to choose colors using various selection methods and provides color codes in formats like HEX, RGB, and HSL.

How do I use the color harmonies feature?

To use the color harmonies feature, first select your base color using the color picker. Then click on the 'Harmonies' tab to view complementary, analogous, triadic, and tetradic color schemes based on your selected color. These suggestions follow color theory principles to help you create visually appealing combinations.

Can I use these colors in my web design projects?

Yes, you can use the colors selected with our tool in your web design projects. Simply copy the HEX, RGB, or HSL values provided and paste them into your HTML, CSS, or other design files. Our tool is specifically designed to help web designers find and implement colors across their projects.

What“s the difference between RGB and HSL color models?

RGB (Red, Green, Blue) is an additive color model that creates colors by combining different intensities of red, green, and blue light. HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) is a more intuitive model that separates the color (hue) from its saturation and lightness values, making it easier to create variations of the same color by adjusting only saturation or lightness.
