Can I use this with the main generator?
Yes. Start from this page, then open the main Chromoforge tool with the same base color and export the palette.
How many colors does a website scheme need?
One primary, one accent, a neutral ramp for surfaces, borders and text, and four semantic colors for success, warning, error and info. That is enough to style every state a marketing site or a web app will ever render.
What is the 60-30-10 rule?
It splits a layout by area: about 60% a dominant neutral, 30% a secondary surface or supporting color, and 10% the accent that carries calls to action. It is a proportion guide, not an accessibility rule, so every text pair still has to be checked against WCAG.
