Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between HEX, RGB, and HSL color formats?
HEX uses hexadecimal notation (#FF0000), RGB uses red/green/blue values (rgb(255,0,0)), and HSL uses hue/saturation/lightness (hsl(0,100%,50%)). Each format has different use cases - HEX is common in web design, RGB for precise color control, and HSL for intuitive color adjustments.
How do I choose colors that work well together?
Use complementary colors (opposite on the color wheel) for high contrast, or analogous colors (adjacent on the color wheel) for harmony. Our tool shows complementary colors automatically, and you can experiment with different hues while maintaining consistent saturation and lightness values.
What are complementary colors and how are they calculated?
Complementary colors are opposite each other on the color wheel and create high contrast when used together. Our tool calculates them by inverting the RGB values (255 minus each RGB component), providing colors that naturally contrast well with your selection.
How can I ensure my color choices are accessible?
Focus on sufficient contrast ratios between text and background colors. Our tool automatically calculates whether black or white text works best on your selected background color. For full accessibility compliance, test contrast ratios and consider how colors appear to users with color vision differences.
Can I use these colors directly in my CSS and Tailwind projects?
Absolutely! The tool provides ready-to-copy CSS code for background colors, text colors, and borders, plus Tailwind CSS class examples. Simply click the copy button next to any format and paste directly into your stylesheets or HTML classes.
