How does the WCAG accessibility checker work?
Our built-in accessibility checker calculates contrast ratios in real-time according to WCAG 2.1 guidelines. It instantly shows you whether your color combinations meet AA (4.5:1 ratio) or AAA (7:1 ratio) standards for normal text, plus the relaxed requirements for large text. You'll see immediate pass/fail status as you select colors.

What color formats can I export?
We support all major color formats: HEX (like #FF5733), RGB (like rgb(255, 87, 51)), HSL (like hsl(14, 100%, 60%)), and HSB. Each format is provided with one-click copying for immediate use in your design tools, CSS, or documentation.
How accurate are the color harmony suggestions?
Our harmony generator is based on traditional color theory principles taught in design schools worldwide. We use mathematical relationships on the color wheel to create complementary, analogous, triadic, and other proven color schemes. These aren't random suggestions - they're scientifically balanced combinations that work well together.
Do I need to create an account to save my colors?
No account is needed! Your recently used colors are automatically saved in your browser for quick access during your current session. For long-term storage, simply copy your favorite colors to your design tool or note-taking app using our one-click copy feature.

Plus, it actually works well on mobile devices, unlike many outdated alternatives.
Can I use the colors commercially?
Yes, there are no restrictions on using colors generated by our tool for commercial purposes. Colors themselves cannot be copyrighted, and our tool simply helps you discover and format color values. Use them freely in your client work, products, or any commercial application.
What makes your accessibility checker special?
We're the only color tool that provides intelligent accessibility suggestions, not just pass/fail ratings.
