Frequently Asked Questions

What color formats does this converter support?

The tool supports HEX (#RRGGBB), RGB (0-255 per channel), and HSL (hue 0-360°, saturation 0-100%, lightness 0-100%). Editing any format instantly updates all others in real time.

How does the WCAG contrast checker work?

The contrast checker calculates the luminance ratio between two colors per WCAG 2.1 guidelines. A ratio of 4.5:1 passes AA for normal text, 3:1 passes AA for large text, and 7:1 passes AAA. This helps ensure your designs are accessible.

What are complementary, analogous, and triadic colors?

Complementary colors sit opposite on the color wheel (180° apart). Analogous colors are neighbors (±30°). Triadic colors are evenly spaced at 120° intervals. Split-complementary uses the two colors adjacent to the complement (150° and 210°).

Is my data processed on a server?

No. All color conversions and calculations run entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript. No data is sent to any server, ensuring complete privacy.

Can I use this tool for web design and CSS?

Absolutely! Copy HEX values directly into CSS properties, or use the rgb() and hsl() formats. The palette generator helps you build harmonious color schemes, and the contrast checker ensures WCAG accessibility compliance.
