What is a triadic color scheme?

A triadic color scheme uses three colors that are evenly spaced around the color wheel, providing a balanced yet vibrant contrast.

Can I adjust the lightness of the generated colors?

Yes, you can use the Lightness Adjustment slider to shift the brightness of the generated colors by up to 30%.

What is the difference between equilateral and isosceles triads?

Equilateral triads use a 120-degree spacing for maximum balance, while isosceles triads use a 90-degree and 180-degree split for a more unique, elongated contrast.

Can I see the color values in different formats?

Yes, the tool can display HEX, RGB, and HSL values simultaneously based on your configuration settings.

Is it possible to include the base color in the final output?

Yes, simply check the 'Include Base Color' option to ensure your original color is part of the final palette display.
