Color Variations: Generate Shades and Tints Automatically
Once you've selected your base color, our tool goes beyond basic picking by generating professional variations in 10% increments – essential for building cohesive design systems.
Shades
Darker variations created by adding pure black to your base color. Ideal for:
- Hover states on buttons and links
- Shadows and depth effects
- Text on lighter backgrounds
Tints
Lighter variations created by adding pure white to your base color. Perfect for:
- Highlights and active states
- Backgrounds and subtle overlays
- Disabled or secondary UI elements
💡 Pro Tip: Use shades for interactive hover effects and shadows, while tints work great for highlights, backgrounds, and maintaining accessibility.
