Frequently Asked Questions

How are colors assigned to items?

Colors are assigned in a rotating pattern based on the selected palette. Each item gets the next color in the palette sequence, cycling back to the start when all palette colors have been used. This ensures visually distinct adjacent items.

What is the difference between text color and background color?

Text color mode changes only the font color of each item while keeping a clean white background. Background color mode fills each item's background with the assigned color and uses white text. Background mode provides a more prominent visual effect.

Can I customize the color palette?

Currently, the tool offers 8 pre-designed color palettes: Rainbow, Ocean, Forest, Sunset, Pastel, Neon, Monochrome, and Warm. Each palette contains 7 colors carefully chosen to work well together. Future updates may include custom palette support.

Can I use this for color-blind accessible lists?

Yes, the Monochrome palette uses grayscale colors that are distinguishable by everyone. The Ocean, Forest, and Pastel palettes also offer good contrast and are generally color-blind friendly. We recommend testing your chosen palette for accessibility.
