What Is Protected

The following elements are protected by OmniColor's copyright:

  • Website code: The HTML, CSS and JavaScript that make up the site.

What Is Not Protected (By Us)

Some things you can use freely:

  • Palettes you generate: Any palette, gradient, shade scale or color scheme you create using OmniColor is yours. We claim no copyright over your generated colors.
  • Standard color values: Public color values (CSS named colors, sRGB values, framework default palettes like Tailwind, Bootstrap, Material) are not copyrightable by us — they belong to their respective sources under their own terms.
  • Color theory: The underlying science of color — complementary colors, HSL conversion math, WCAG contrast formulas — is factual knowledge and cannot be copyrighted.
  • Standard code snippets: Basic HTML/CSS/JS snippets that appear in our educational content — like background-clip: text — are standard techniques that anyone can use.
