Color shade and tint generator
Create labelled lightness scales from a base color.
Jak používat Color shade and tint generator
Color shade and tint generator builds a labeled lightness scale from one base color: tints blended toward white, the base itself, and shades blended toward black. Choose 2 to 10 steps per direction for up to 21 colors, each listed with its HEX code in a table and shown as a swatch with black or white text chosen by luminance.
- Enter the requested values in the settings panel.
- Set base color, steps per direction.
- Run color shade and tint generator, review the output, then use the available copy or download controls.

Časté dotazy
How are tints and shades calculated?
Each RGB channel is blended linearly. Tint i moves the color i/(steps + 1) of the way toward white, and Shade i moves it the same fraction toward black, so pure white and black are never reached. The same input always gives the same scale.
How many colors does the shade and tint generator produce?
Twice the steps per direction, plus the base. With the default of 5 steps you get Tint 5 to Tint 1, Base and Shade 1 to Shade 5, eleven colors in total; the maximum of 10 steps gives 21.
Can I export the color scale?
The results table holds Label and HEX columns and copies as tab-separated text, so it pastes into spreadsheets or design notes. You can then rename labels such as Tint 3 to your own token names.
