Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
When should I use HSL instead of HEX or RGB?
HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) is ideal when you want to adjust lightness or darkness or design responsive design systems, as you only need to tweak the Lightness percentage without recalculating Red, Green, and Blue channels.
How do I extract a color palette from an image or logo?
Click the "Extract from Image" button, upload your file (PNG, JPG, WebP), and the tool will sample the image and present the top 8 color swatches with 1-click HEX copy buttons.
