Indigo Core Pure#0A2FEB · hsl(230, 92%, 48%)“Indigo” color — frequently asked questions
- What color is the word "Indigo"?
- The word "indigo" maps to #0A2FEB — a blue tone (rgb(10, 47, 235), hsl(230, 92%, 48%)). "Indigo" is one of the 48 hue families ColorArchive is built from, so this is the archive's own definition of indigo rather than a hashed result, and it always returns this exact hex code and the same five-shade palette.
- How does the word to color generator work?
- It normalizes your text and runs a deterministic hash entirely in your browser — no API and no server. That hash maps to stable hue, saturation, and lightness values, producing one base color plus five tonal variants. The one exception is the 48 color names the archive itself is built from — coral, teal, indigo and the rest — which return that family's own defined color instead of a hashed one, because for those words there is a right answer.
- Will the same word always produce the same color?
- Yes. The algorithm is fully deterministic, so a given word or phrase always returns the identical hex code and palette on any device. That makes it useful as a lightweight, repeatable visual signature for names, tags, or brands.
- Is the word to color generator free?
- Yes — you can generate and copy color palettes for free, no sign-up required. Free use covers five word palettes, and copying hex, RGB, HSL, CSS variables and Tailwind is free with no daily limit. Pro removes the five-word limit; you can also keep generating free by subscribing to the daily color email.
- Can I use the generated colors commercially?
- Yes. Hex color values are factual data and are not copyrightable, so you are free to use any generated color or palette in personal and commercial projects.
- What are the five color variants?
- Each word generates a base color plus tonal variants — lighter and darker steps around the same hue — giving you a small, ready-to-use palette instead of a single swatch.
