Frequently Asked Questions

Saturation refers to the intensity or purity of a color. A fully saturated color is vivid and pure, while a desaturated color appears more muted or grayish. In technical terms, saturation represents the dominance of hue in the color.

Brightness (or lightness) determines how light or dark a color appears, while saturation controls the color's intensity. For example:

  • Pastel colors are bright but desaturated
  • Deep jewel tones are dark but highly saturated
  • Neon colors are both bright and highly saturated
  • Muted earth tones are medium brightness with low saturation

Contrast ratios measure the difference in luminance between your color and white/black text:

  • 4.5:1 or higher - Good contrast for normal text (AA standard)
  • 7:1 or higher - Excellent contrast (AAA standard)
  • 3:1 or higher - Minimum for large text (18pt+ or 14pt bold)
  • Below 3:1 - Poor contrast (may be inaccessible)

The tool shows contrast against both white and black text to help you choose appropriate text colors.

Yes! The tool automatically saves your recent colors in the history panel (up to 6 colors). You can:

  • Click any color in history to reuse it
  • Export your color as JSON with the Export button
  • Copy color codes to use in your projects

For more permanent storage, consider bookmarking the page with your favorite color selected or exporting the color data.

The tool works with and displays colors in several formats:

  • HEX - #RRGGBB format (e.g., #646cff)
  • RGB - Red, Green, Blue values (e.g., rgb(100, 108, 255))
  • HSL - Hue, Saturation, Lightness (e.g., hsl(237, 100%, 70%))

When you export colors, you'll get all these formats plus the original base color and adjustment values in a JSON file.
