Color questions
Why do the same locked settings still produce different colors?+
A lock keeps only the selected HSL component at its current value. The unlocked components are generated again each time, so a fixed hue can still produce lighter, darker, softer, or more vivid colors. Lock all three components to keep the exact color unchanged.
What is the difference between HEX, RGB and HSL?+
HEX and RGB describe the same red, green, and blue light using different notation. HSL describes a color by hue, saturation, and lightness, which can be easier to adjust intuitively. Each format works well on the web. Try the Random Palette Generator to explore several colors together.
Can I use these colors commercially?+
The generated color values are free to use in personal and commercial projects. Individual colors are generally available for everyone to use, but a particular logo, brand identity, or combination of elements may have separate legal protections. Check the requirements of your project or client when needed.
