Shade & Tint Generator
Shades are darker variations of a base color (mixed with black); tints are lighter (mixed with white). This tool interpolates the HSL lightness from 0 (pure black) up through the base color and onward to 100 (pure white), producing N evenly distributed colors that smoothly transition through the base. Set the count between 3 and 20 for a complete dark → mid → light ramp. Useful for building consistent dark-mode palettes, hover/pressed state variants, and design tokens. All math runs in your browser — no upload, no signup.
