Color & Gradient Studio – Frequently Asked Questions

What color formats does the picker support?
The color picker displays values in three formats: HEX (#e11d48), RGB (rgb(225, 29, 72)), and HSL (hsl(350, 77%, 50%)). Each format can be copied to your clipboard with a single click for use in CSS, design tools, or code.
How do color harmonies work?
Color harmonies are generated by rotating the hue angle on the color wheel. Complementary colors are 180° apart, analogous colors are 30° apart, triadic colors are 120° apart, and split-complementary colors are 150° and 210° from the base color. These relationships create visually balanced combinations.
Can I use the gradient CSS in my website?
Absolutely! The gradient builder generates standard CSS that works in all modern browsers. Just click the copy button next to the CSS code and paste it into your stylesheet as a background or background-image property.
How do I add more color stops to a gradient?
Click the '+ Add Stop' button below the color stops to add up to 4 stops total. Each stop has a color picker and a position slider (0-100%). To remove a stop, click the X button (minimum 2 stops required).
Are the palettes suitable for accessibility?
The palettes are generated based on color theory relationships, which tend to produce harmonious combinations. However, for accessibility compliance (WCAG), you should always verify contrast ratios between text and background colors. Consider using a dedicated contrast checker for critical UI decisions.
