Frequently Asked Questions
How does the color palette generator choose colors?
It uses HSL-based relationships to create coordinated colors for primary, secondary, accent, and tertiary roles.
Can I use the palette in CSS?

How is this different from picking random colors?
The tool keeps colors coordinated around hue, saturation, and lightness so the palette feels intentional instead of accidental.
