Frequently Asked Questions
What are CSS custom properties (variables)?▾
CSS variables (--var-name) let you define colors once and reuse them throughout your stylesheet. Change the value in :root and it updates everywhere.
How do I use the exported CSS?▾
Paste the :root block into your main CSS file. Then use var(--color-primary) etc. throughout your stylesheets.
What is a good primary/secondary combination?▾
High contrast between primary and background is key for readability. Primary and secondary should differ enough to be distinguishable — try hues 120–180° apart.
