What is Color Theory?
Color theory is a set of principles used to create harmonious color combinations. It involves understanding how colors interact with each other and how they can be used to create effective designs. Our color palette generator uses these principles to create beautiful, harmonious color schemes that work well together in any design project.

- Monochromatic: Variations of a single color for subtle harmony

Frequently Asked Questions:
What does 'Color Harmony' mean?
Color harmony refers to the theory of combining colors in a way that is pleasing to the eye. Our tool uses standard harmony rules (like complementary, triadic, etc.) to generate palettes that are balanced and visually appealing.
How can I use the exported CSS?
When you export to CSS, the tool generates custom properties (variables) for each color in the palette. You can copy and paste this code into your stylesheet and use these variables (e.g., `var(--color-1)`) throughout your project for a consistent theme.
