Frequently Asked Questions

What color formats does this tool support?

This tool supports the three most common web color formats: HEX (Hexadecimal), RGB (Red Green Blue), and HSL (Hue Saturation Lightness). It also handles alpha channels for transparency in RGBA and HSLA formats.

How do I check if my color is accessible?

The tool automatically calculates the contrast ratio of your selected color against white and black text backgrounds. According to WCAG guidelines, a ratio of 4.5:1 is required for AA compliance (normal text), and 7:1 for AAA compliance.

Can I save the colors I pick?

While there isn't a permanent save database, you can instantly copy the color code to your clipboard. The "Generated Palette" section also creates variations of your color that you can use to build a cohesive theme.
