FAQ

How are light and dark tones generated?

The palette is created by lightening and darkening the selected base color; keep in mind that screens and print can differ.

Are the 10 tones fixed?

The tool provides a typical scale; if a tone does not fit, fine-tune it with the color picker.

What if I want matching secondary colors from my brand color?

Use tones derived from the base color for button hover states and background surfaces.
