Frequently Asked Questions

What is color harmony in design?

Color harmony refers to the pleasing arrangement of colors based on their positions on the color wheel. Harmonious color combinations create visual balance and are aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Common harmonies include complementary (opposite colors), analogous (adjacent colors), and triadic (evenly spaced colors).

What is the 60-30-10 color rule?

The 60-30-10 rule is a classic design principle for creating balanced color schemes. Use your dominant color for 60% of the design (backgrounds), secondary color for 30% (supporting elements), and accent color for 10% (highlights and CTAs). This creates visual hierarchy without overwhelming the viewer.

Which color harmony is best for UI design?

Analogous color schemes are often ideal for UI design as they create a cohesive, harmonious feel. For more dynamic interfaces, split-complementary offers good contrast while maintaining balance. Complementary colors work well for CTAs and important elements that need to stand out.

How do I use the color wheel for Tailwind CSS?

Select a base color on the wheel, choose a harmony type (complementary, triadic, etc.), and the tool generates matching colors. Each color shows its closest Tailwind CSS class equivalent and hex code, making it easy to implement in your projects.
