FAQ

How many colors should a brand palette have? +

Most brands work best with 5 colors: a primary, secondary, accent, text color, and background. This gives you enough variety without creating visual chaos.

What makes colors accessible? +

Text must have a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 against its background for normal text (WCAG AA). Large text needs 3:1. Our tool checks these ratios automatically.

Can I use these colors commercially? +

Yes. Colors are not copyrightable. The palettes generated here are free to use in any project, commercial or personal.

How do I pick a base color for my brand? +

Start with the emotion you want to convey. Blue builds trust, red creates urgency, green signals growth, purple suggests premium. Then refine from there.

Should I stick to one palette forever? +

Your core palette should stay consistent, but seasonal campaigns and sub-brands can use variations. Mani helps you create cohesive variations that stay on-brand.
