Frequently Asked Questions
What is a color harmony?
A harmony places colors at specific angles around the color wheel — complementary (opposite), triadic (every 120°) etc. — to guarantee they work well together.
Can I keep some colors while regenerating?
Yes. Click the lock icon on any swatch; it will survive every regeneration while unlocked swatches change.
How do I use the palette in code?
Copy it as CSS variables (--color-1 …) or a JSON array, then paste into your stylesheet or config.
