Frequently Asked Questions
Everything about Color Studio's features and capabilities
What are the 5 modes in Color Studio?

What color formats are supported?
Color Studio supports 5 color formats: HEX (#FF4D29), RGB (255, 77, 41), HSL (10°, 100%, 58%), HSV (10°, 84%, 100%), and CMYK (0%, 70%, 84%, 0%). All formats update in real-time and can be copied with a single click.
Can I extract colors from animated GIFs?
Yes! The Image Extractor supports frame-by-frame GIF extraction. You can play/pause the animation, navigate between frames using the timeline, and extract colors from any specific frame. Colors from each frame are tracked separately.
What image formats can I upload?
Color Studio supports 10 image formats: JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF (including animated), BMP, TIFF, ICO, HEIC, and HEIF. HEIC/HEIF files from iPhones are automatically converted. You can drag and drop images or use the file picker.
What color harmonies can I generate?
Color Studio generates 6 harmony types: Complementary (opposite colors), Analogous (adjacent colors), Triadic (three evenly spaced), Split-Complementary (base + two adjacent to complement), Tetradic (four colors in rectangle), and Square (four evenly spaced). Click any harmony color to use it.
How does the Gradient Generator work?
Create gradients with up to 6 color stops. Choose from linear, radial, conic, or multipoint gradient types. Adjust angles and positions. Browse 60 curated presets in the gradient library. Export as CSS, Tailwind CSS, SCSS variables, or SVG code. Download as PNG or JPG image.
What is WCAG contrast and why does it matter?
WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) defines minimum contrast ratios for readable text. AA level requires 4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text. AAA level requires 7:1 and 4.5:1 respectively. Poor contrast makes text hard to read for people with visual impairments.
Can I automatically fix contrast issues?
Yes! The Contrast Checker has "Fix to AA" and "Fix to AAA" buttons that automatically adjust your text color to meet accessibility standards while preserving the original hue as much as possible. If already compliant, you'll see a notification.
What is colorblind simulation?
The Contrast Checker can simulate how your color combinations appear to people with different types of color vision deficiency: Protanopia (red-blind), Deuteranopia (green-blind), Tritanopia (blue-blind), Protanomaly, Deuteranomaly, Tritanomaly, Achromatopsia (complete colorblindness), and Achromatomaly.
How do I save and load palettes?
In the Palette Builder, click the save icon to open the Preset Manager. Name your palette and click Save. Your presets are stored locally in your browser (IndexedDB) and persist across sessions. Load any saved preset with one click. You can also export palettes as PNG images, CSS variables, or JSON files.
What is the Color History feature?
Color History automatically tracks the last 20 colors you've used across all modes. Each color shows a badge indicating which mode it came from (Picker, Image, Palette, Gradient, or Contrast). Click the clock icon to view your history and click any color to copy it to clipboard.
Can I pick colors from my screen?
Yes! Click the eyedropper icon in the Color Picker to activate the EyeDropper API (available in Chrome, Edge, and Opera). This lets you pick any color from anywhere on your screen, including other applications and browser tabs.
Is my data safe with this tool?
100% safe. Color Studio runs entirely in your browser. No images or colors are ever uploaded to any server. Your presets, history, and favorites are stored locally using IndexedDB. You can export/import your data at any time.
Does Color Studio work offline?
Yes! Once loaded, Color Studio works completely offline. All color calculations, image processing, and gradient generation happen in your browser. Your saved presets and history remain accessible without an internet connection.
