Frequently asked questions
- Can I export the palette?
- Copy individual hex values from the swatches. Some browsers also let you screenshot the palette for reference.

- Complementary pairs give strong contrast. Analogous sets feel calm and unified. Triadic schemes add variety while staying balanced; try each and compare.
- Are colours accessible for text?
- Use the Contrast Checker tool on ToolzWorx to verify text/background pairs meet WCAG guidelines before shipping UI.
