Frequently asked questions

What colour values can I paste?

Anything a web page understands: HEX such as #e11d48 or #f60, rgb() and hsl() values, and colour names such as coral or navy.

Can I pick a colour from my screen?

Yes, in Chrome and Edge. A Pick from the screen button appears and lets you click any colour you can see.

Is the CMYK value exact for printing?

No. It is a simple estimate from the screen colour. A printer's own colour profile gives different results, so check a proof before printing.

What do AA and AAA mean?

They are the web accessibility levels for text contrast. AA needs a ratio of 4.5 : 1 for normal text, and AAA needs 7 : 1.

Is anything uploaded?

No. Everything is worked out in your browser.
