Color Shade & Tints
Tints (lighter)
Shades (darker)

A tint lightens a color toward white and a shade darkens it toward black, but neither one touches how saturated or vivid the color actually looks, that's a tone, made by mixing a color toward gray instead, which is exactly the operation that turns a loud, saturated brand color into a softer, more muted variant without simply making it lighter or darker. This tool generates tints, shades, and tones of a base color together, covering the desaturated, muted variant a tint or shade alone can't produce.

Useful for creating a softer, muted version of a bright brand color for a secondary UI element or a background, building a complete set of tints, shades, and tones for a design system from one base color, or toning down a color's vibrancy without changing how light or dark it appears.
