Frequently Asked Questions

Can I lock multiple colors while randomizing others?

Yes! Click the 'Lock' button on any swatch to keep it frozen while pressing Spacebar generates new compatible colors for the unlocked slots.

How does the harmony calculation work?

Harmonies are calculated using classical color wheel geometric angles (e.g. 180° for complementary, 120° for triadic, 90° for tetradic) projected through the HSL color model.
