Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about color palettes
How many colors should my palette have?
Most effective palettes use 3-5 colors: one dominant (60%), one secondary (30%), and 1-3 accent colors (10%). Too many colors can create visual chaos; too few may feel flat.
How do I create a dark mode palette?
Start with dark backgrounds (#121212-#1E1E1E), use off-white (#E0E0E0) for text, slightly desaturate accent colors, and increase surface elevation with lighter grays. Always check contrast ratios.
Can I use these palettes commercially?
Yes! All color palettes are free to use for personal and commercial projects. Colors themselves cannot be copyrighted. Use them in websites, apps, branding, and more.
