Frequently Asked Questions

How many shades does the generator create?

The shades generator creates 10 color variations ranging from the lightest tint to the darkest shade of your chosen color. This gives you a complete tonal range perfect for design systems, UI theming, and creating depth in your color palette.

What is the difference between a tint and a shade?

A tint is created by adding white to a color, making it lighter. A shade is created by adding black, making it darker. The generator shows both tints (lighter variations) and shades (darker variations) of your base color in a single gradient scale.

Can I use these shades for CSS or design systems?

Yes, each generated shade includes a copyable HEX code. Click any swatch to instantly copy the value. The 10-step scale aligns with common design system conventions (like Tailwind CSS color scales), making it easy to integrate into your project.
