Consider your brand personality, target audience, and industry. Warm colors (reds, oranges) convey energy and passion, cool colors (blues, greens) suggest trust and calm, while neutral colors offer sophistication. Use our color psychology guide and test different combinations.
A color scheme is the theoretical relationship between colors (like complementary or analogous), while a color palette is the specific set of colors you choose for your project. Our generator creates palettes based on proven color schemes.
For most projects, 3-5 colors work best: one primary, one secondary, and 1-3 accent colors. This follows the 60-30-10 rule where 60% is your dominant color, 30% is secondary, and 10% is for accents and highlights.
Yes! All generated palettes are free to use in personal and commercial projects. Colors themselves cannot be copyrighted, though specific branded color combinations might be trademarked by companies.
Use our built-in accessibility checker to ensure sufficient contrast ratios (4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text). Also consider colorblind-friendly combinations and don't rely solely on color to convey information.
You can export to Adobe ASE (Adobe Swatch Exchange), Sketch palette, Figma styles, CSS variables, SCSS, JSON, and plain text formats. This ensures compatibility with most design tools and development workflows.
