Frequently Asked Questions

What color adjustments can I make with this tool?

You can adjust lightness (-100% to +100%), saturation (0% to 200%), hue rotation (0° to 360°), color temperature (warm/cool), and opacity. You can also generate tints (add white), shades (add black), and mix multiple colors together.

How does the color mixing feature work?

The color mixing tool blends 2-5 colors using different blend modes. You can control the mixing ratio and choose from blend modes like normal, multiply, screen, and overlay. It's perfect for creating gradient colors and complex color combinations.

What's the difference between tints and shades?

Tints are created by adding white to a color, making it lighter and less saturated. Shades are created by adding black to a color, making it darker. Both maintain the original hue while changing the lightness and saturation.

Can I undo changes if I make a mistake?

Yes! The tool includes a full undo/redo system with up to 20 steps. You can experiment freely and easily revert changes. You can also save favorite adjustments as presets for future use.

How does color temperature adjustment work?

Color temperature shifts colors between warm (adding orange/red tones) and cool (adding blue tones). This mimics how light temperature affects color perception and is useful for creating mood and atmosphere in designs.

Can I save my color adjustments as presets?

Yes! You can save your favorite adjustment combinations as named presets. This allows you to quickly apply the same style adjustments to different colors, creating consistency across your designs.
