What are hex codes and why are they important for my wedding?

A hex code (like #BC6C25) is a unique digital code for a specific color shade. Giving this code to your vendors (stationer, web designer, etc.) is the best way to ensure perfect color consistency across your wedding invitations, website, and digital materials.

How many colors should be in a wedding palette?

Most designers recommend a balanced palette of 3 to 5 colors. This usually includes a primary color, a secondary color, one or two accent colors, and a neutral. Our generator is designed to create well-balanced, 5-color palettes automatically.

Can I use the generator if I don't want to exclude any colors?

Yes, absolutely! The color exclusion filter is completely optional. If you are open to all possibilities, just choose a vibe from the dropdown menu and click 'Generate Palette' to see a full range of ideas.
