Color Tints Generator
Generate a requested number of progressively lighter tints from one base color.
How to use
- Set the base HEX and step count to create the light palette.
Capabilities and scope
scaleColors(base,steps,'tints') computes lighter color variants toward white and exposes copyable values.
How it works
The base color is progressively mixed toward a white endpoint.
Example
Seven steps provide seven increasingly light variants for surfaces or states.
Useful for
- Draft subtle surfaces and light background variants
Before you use it
- Perceptual lightness spacing is not normalized, so visual gaps are not guaranteed equal.
Frequently asked questions
Does it only increase alpha?
No. It mixes actual RGB color values toward lighter colors rather than changing transparency.
