How can we help you?
Discover the full potential of HueSurge. Whether you're a designer seeking perfect color harmony or a developer needing accessible contrast ratios, we've got you covered.
Color Converter & Accessible Colors
Open Tool →How do I convert between Hex, RGB, HSL, and other formats?
The Color Converter allows you to translate colors instantly across multiple formats. Simply paste your starting code (like a HEX code #A8BA95) into the input field or use the interactive color picker.
The tool automatically generates corresponding values for RGB, HSL, HSV, and even CMYK and LAB values, making it essential for both web and print design workflows. Click any value to copy it directly to your clipboard.
How can I check Color Contrast for accessibility?
Ensuring your design is accessible to all users is critical. Our built-in Contrast Checker evaluates the readability of text against your selected background color.
We check against WCAG 2.1 standards (AA and AAA levels). The tool displays contrast ratios for:
- White text on your chosen color
- Black text on your chosen color
- Your chosen color on White/Black backgrounds
Aim for a ratio of at least 4.5:1 for normal text to ensure compliance and readability.
What is the difference between RAL and Copic libraries?
HueSurge includes reference libraries for physical color matching. The RAL system is widely used in architecture and industrial design, while Copic markers are a standard in illustration. Toggle between these libraries to find the closest physical match to your digital color.
Palette Generator & Harmonies
Open Tool →How do I generate a harmonious color palette?
The Palette Generator uses color theory to create cohesive schemes. Start by selecting a base color, then choose a harmony mode such as New Harmony, Analogous, or Monochromatic.
Press the Spacebar or click the "Generate" button to cycle through infinite variations. You can lock specific colors that you like by clicking the lock icon, preserving them while regenerating the rest of the palette.
Can I simulate color blindness for my palette?
Yes! Inclusivity is a core feature of HueSurge. Open the View menu to access the Blindness Simulator.
You can instantly preview how your entire palette appears to users with:
- Protanopia (Red-blind)
- Deuteranopia (Green-blind)
- Tritanopia (Blue-blind)
- Achromatopsia (Monochromacy)
How do I export my palette for design tools?
Once you've perfected your scheme, click the Export button. You can download your palette as a high-resolution PNG, JPG, or SVG file. You can even customize the export with your own palette name, making it ready for client presentations or style guides.
CSS Gradient Creator
Open Tool →How do I create and customize CSS gradients?
The Gradient Generator gives you full control over Linear and Radial gradients.
Toggle Interactive Handles to drag gradient stops directly on the preview canvas for intuitive adjustments. You can precisely position colors, add multiple stops (up to 7), and adjust the angle (for linear gradients). The standard CSS code is generated automatically below for easy copy-pasting into your projects.
Can I use the gradient as a background image?
Absolutely. In addition to copying the CSS code, you can download the gradient as a standalone image file (PNG/JPG). This is perfect for social media backgrounds, slide decks, or assets where CSS isn't applicable.
