Method & guidance

How the Color Scheme Generator works

Color-theory relationships produce coordinated role-based colors for dominant, secondary, and accent use.

How to use this tool

  1. Collect accurate values for starting hue, harmony, saturation.
  2. Enter measurements in the displayed units and select the choices that match this project.
  3. Select Calculate / Generate, then compare the outputs with the stated Color Scheme Generator method.
  4. Apply the result only after checking product specifications and real site conditions.

Example calculation or use case

For a worked Color Scheme Generator example, use Starting hue = Blue, Harmony = Analogous, Saturation = Muted. The tool then applies this method: Color-theory relationships produce coordinated role-based colors for dominant, secondary, and accent use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What information does the Color Scheme Generator use?

It uses the measurements and choices shown in the form. Color-theory relationships produce coordinated role-based colors for dominant, secondary, and accent use.

How accurate is the Color Scheme Generator result?

The calculation is mathematically consistent with the stated assumptions. Use the 60–30–10 ratio as a starting point for distributing the scheme. Real products, site conditions, and supplier specifications can still change the final decision.

Should I include an allowance?

Use the result as a planning baseline and keep a sensible reserve for site variation, delivery, or fitting.
