// FAQ
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q1.What is a complementary color palette?
Complementary colors sit directly opposite each other on the color wheel (180° apart). They create the highest contrast and visual tension — great for call-to-action buttons, logos, and designs where you want bold impact. Example: blue + orange, or red + green.
Q2.What is an analogous color palette?
Analogous palettes use colors that sit next to each other on the color wheel (±30°). They feel naturally harmonious and are common in nature. Use them for calm, cohesive designs like backgrounds, illustrations, or brand identities where you want a serene look.
Q3.What is the difference between triadic and tetradic color schemes?
A triadic scheme uses three colors equally spaced 120° apart — balanced and vibrant. A tetradic (square) scheme uses four colors 90° apart — rich and complex, but harder to balance. Both work well when one color dominates and the others serve as accents.
Q4.What is a monochromatic color palette?
A monochromatic palette uses a single hue at different lightness levels (20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, 100%). It creates clean, professional designs with guaranteed harmony. Especially effective for UI/UX, data visualizations, and minimalist aesthetics.
Q5.What do HEX, RGB, and HSL color formats mean?
HEX (#00f5ff) is the most common format for web and CSS. RGB (rgb(0, 245, 255)) specifies red, green, and blue channels from 0–255 — useful in design software. HSL (hsl(183, 100%, 50%)) represents hue (0–360°), saturation (%), and lightness (%) — the most intuitive format for adjusting colors programmatically.
