How do I choose a palette for a brand?

Start with one primary color, then define neutrals, accents, and state colors with enough contrast for real UI use.

Can generated colors be used directly on a website?

Yes, but verify readability, dark-mode behavior, and accessibility contrast in the actual interface.

Display calibration, brightness, color gamut, and surrounding light can change perception. Use design specs for final brand colors.
