Palette questions
How many colors should a palette have?+
Three to five colors are a practical starting point. Choose a dominant color, one or two supporting colors, and an accent for emphasis. The right number depends on your design; a consistent hierarchy matters more than following a fixed rule.
What makes a color palette work?+
A useful palette has a clear visual hierarchy and enough contrast between elements. Try distributing hues around the color wheel, then adjust saturation and lightness for your project. Check text against its background to make sure it remains readable.
How do I save a palette I like?+
Use the save button to keep a complete palette in this browser, or copy its share link or exported values. The Random Color Generator also keeps a history of individual colors generated there. Random Color Generator.
