The CMYK column is an arithmetic conversion without an ICC profile, not a print separation. For a specific print job check the values in: CMYK Colour Simulation.
Fully transparent pixels are ignored. Partially transparent colours are composited over white.
Contrast is calculated according to WCAG 2.x for the two given opaque colours; it does not account for transparency, gradients, typeface or viewing conditions. Harmonies and CMYK values are a design aid, not a print separation. The rules for using the Tools are set out in the Terms of Service.
What is color harmony?
Color harmony is a combination of colors that creates an aesthetic and cohesive visual effect. It is based on relationships between colors on the color wheel — e.g. complementary (opposite) colors create strong contrast, while analogous (adjacent) colors produce a soft, harmonious effect.
How to choose colors for your project?
Choose a base color that matches your brand or project mood, then use harmony algorithms — monochromatic, complementary, triadic or tetradic — to automatically generate a cohesive palette. Remember about text-to-background contrast — WCAG standard requires a minimum ratio of 4.5:1 for normal text.
Export formats
The tool allows exporting palettes to CSS, SCSS, ASE, ACO, GPL and PNG files. You can also copy values in HEX, RGB, HSL and CMYK formats.
