Frequently Asked Questions

What is a complementary color scheme?

Complementary colors sit directly opposite each other on the color wheel (e.g. blue and orange). They create high contrast and vibrant, eye-catching combinations — great for CTAs and highlights.

What is an analogous color scheme?

Analogous colors sit adjacent to each other on the color wheel (e.g. blue, blue-green, green). They create harmonious, low-contrast palettes that feel calm and cohesive — great for backgrounds and brand colors.

What is WCAG color contrast and why does it matter?

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) specify minimum contrast ratios between text and background colors to ensure readability for users with visual impairments. A ratio of 4.5:1 is required for normal text (AA standard) and 3:1 for large text.
