What is the difference between the generation methods?

Each method applies unique mathematical adjustments to the hue, saturation, and lightness to achieve specific visual styles like 'Vintage' or 'Candy'.

Can I use these colors for web design?

Yes, the tool provides HEX, RGB, and HSL values that are fully compatible with CSS and most web design platforms.

How many colors can I generate at once?

You can generate between 3 and 12 unique pastel colors in a single palette.

Is it possible to include my original base color in the results?

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

What does the 'Softness Level' control?

The softness level determines the overall gentleness of the colors by balancing the reduction of saturation against the increase in lightness.
