FAQ

What are complementary colors?

Complementary colors sit directly opposite each other on the color wheel. They create strong contrast and visual vibrancy when placed side by side.

How do I use complementary colors in design?

Use one color as the dominant background and the other as an accent to create contrast without clashing. Adjust saturation for subtlety.

What format are the colors returned in?

Colors are returned as hex codes (e.g. #a3c2f1) which you can paste directly into CSS, Figma, Photoshop, or any design tool.
