Understanding Color Theory

The intersection of physics, psychology, and digital interface design.

Color Spaces

While HEX is most common in web dev, RGB (Red, Green, Blue) is used for screen rendering, and HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) is most intuitive for human adjustment.

WCAG Compliance

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines require a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for normal text to ensure users with visual impairments can read your content.

Analogous vs Triadic

Harmonies help create balance. Analogous colors sit next to each other on the wheel for serenity, while Triadic colors create high-vibrancy, high-contrast layouts.

Relative Luminance

The perceived brightness of a color. This math is crucial for calculating contrast and ensuring text remains legible over background gradients.

Universal Accessibility

Our tools are built with WCAG standards in mind, ensuring a seamless experience for users across all devices and assistive technologies.

Data Privacy First

We process all data locally in your browser whenever possible. Your sensitive information never touches our servers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Clarifying technical color standards and design best practices.

What is the difference between CMYK and RGB?
RGB is an additive color model used for digital screens (emitted light). CMYK is a subtractive model used for physical printing (reflected light). You should always design in RGB for web applications.
Why do colors look different on my phone vs my monitor?
This is due to hardware calibration and "Color Gamuts." High-end phones often have OLED screens with wider color ranges, making colors appear more saturated than on standard office monitors.
How do I ensure my palette is accessible?
Use our built-in Accessibility Checker. Aim for a contrast ratio of 4.5:1 or higher for standard text, and 3:1 for large text or interface components like buttons.
