Frequently Asked Questions

What is a HEX color code?

A hexadecimal color code is a six-digit code preceded by a hash symbol (#) representing the red, green, and blue components of a color from 00 to FF (e.g., #FFFFFF for white, #000000 for black).

What is the difference between HEX and RGB?

HEX and RGB express the exact same color values: RGB uses decimal numbers from 0 to 255 (e.g., rgb(255, 0, 0)), while HEX encodes those same numbers in base-16 hexadecimal (#FF0000).

How do I check if my colors meet accessibility standards?

Our live WCAG test displays the exact contrast ratio. Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1) require at least 4.5:1 for normal body text and 3:1 for large text (AA compliance).

Can I use these colors in Tailwind CSS and CSS variables?

Yes! Every color includes one-click copy buttons for arbitrary Tailwind classes like bg-[#4f46e5] as well as standard CSS properties.
