Frequently asked questions
About Color Harmony Generator
Color Harmony Generator makes color-wheel relationships visible rather than presenting unexplained swatches. One base color anchors the calculation, and each named rule places companion hues at established angular offsets or varies lightness for a monochromatic family.
The interactive wheel and synchronized HSL controls support both exploratory and exact work. As the base changes, markers, HEX values and the palette update together, helping users compare complementary tension with the softer progression of analogous colors or the breadth of four-color schemes.
The generated values are starting points for visual hierarchy, not claims about readability. Copy them as a list or CSS variables, then evaluate specific text and interface combinations against their real contrast requirements.
