Scale Your Design System with Color Shader
A single color is never enough. To build a rich user interface, you need variants: a lighter one for backgrounds, a darker one for borders, and a vibrant one for accents. The **Color Shader** tool at **Online Tool Base** automatically generates a full monochromatic scale from a single base Hex code.
Terminology
- Tints: Base Color mixed with White (Light).
- Shades: Base Color mixed with Black (Dark).
- Tones: Base Color mixed with Gray (Desaturated).
Why Use This Tool?
Manually picking these variants is tedious and often inconsistent. This tool algorithmically generates 10% steps (10% lighter, 20% lighter, etc.), ensuring your UI hierarchy is mathematically sound. It is the secret weapon of efficient frontend developers.
How to Use
- Input your primary Brand Color.
- Instantly view 10 Tints and 10 Shades.
- Click to copy the code for the "hover" or "active" state you need.
- Use Tints for backgrounds and Shades for text.
Technical & Privacy Note
Instant generation. The **Color Shader** from **Online Tool Base** creates these palettes in milliseconds using JavaScript. No external API calls required.
