Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know
What color formats are supported?
We support all major color formats: HEX, RGB, HSL, HSB/HSV, OKLCH (the modern perceptual color space), LCH, LAB, and CMYK for print applications.
How do I constrain random generation to specific colors?
Use the hue slider to limit generation to a specific hue range. You can also constrain saturation and lightness for more controlled random colors.
What is OKLCH and why should I use it?
OKLCH is a perceptually uniform color space where equal changes in values result in equal perceived color changes. It is better for creating consistent color scales and harmonies.
Can I generate multiple colors at once?
Yes! Use batch mode to generate 5, 10, or more colors at once. Great for quickly finding colors you like.
How do shade and tint generation work?
Shades are created by reducing lightness while maintaining hue and saturation. Tints increase lightness. We use OKLCH for perceptually even results.
Can I lock specific color properties?
Yes! Lock the hue, saturation, or lightness while generating new colors. Perfect for exploring variations within constraints.
