Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the free online random palette.
Pick a harmony, then press New palette. Five harmonious swatches appear with their hex codes
and a copy button on every row.
A complementary palette pairs the base hue with the hue opposite it on the colour wheel, one
hundred and eighty degrees away.
An analogous palette uses hues that sit close together on the colour wheel, here sixty,
thirty, zero, and plus thirty and sixty degrees.
A triadic palette takes three hues spaced evenly around the wheel at zero, one hundred and
twenty and two hundred and forty degrees.
Each colour is stored as hue, saturation and lightness, then converted to a six digit hex
code with the standard HSL to RGB formula.
Yes. Press Copy all and the five hex codes are placed on your clipboard, separated by commas
and ready to paste anywhere.
They are random. A fresh base hue is drawn with the browser's cryptographic random
generator every time you press New palette.
No. Every colour is created and converted inside your browser, so no palette, hue or hex
value ever leaves your device.
