How to use it
Can I use this with the main generator?
Yes. Start from this page, then open the main Chromoforge tool with the same base color and export the palette.
How many colors does a brand palette need?
A workable brand system needs one primary, one or two secondary hues, one accent for calls to action and a neutral ramp of five to nine steps. Anything beyond that is usually decoration and makes component states harder to keep consistent.
Can the brand color be used for body text?
Rarely. Most saturated brand hues fall below the 4.5:1 contrast ratio required for body text on white. Keep a dark neutral for long text and reserve the brand color for headings, buttons, links and accents, where 3:1 on large text is enough.
