01 — The useful part
Color is a system of relationships.
A color is never experienced alone. Its temperature, apparent brightness, and intensity shift when another hue sits beside it. The Color Lab makes those relationships visible so you can move from a feeling or a starting swatch to a palette that has a clear job to do.
Harmonies
Start with one color and explore complementary, analogous, triadic, split-complementary, tetradic, and monochromatic relationships. Each arrangement changes the balance between unity, contrast, and visual energy.
Tints & shades
A dependable interface needs more than a single brand color. The tool builds a usable 50–900 scale, giving you quiet surfaces, readable text, and stronger moments of emphasis from the same hue.
Color with a purpose
Preview a 60–30–10 distribution, semantic feedback colors, neutral families, and a small interface composition. It is a practical bridge between selecting a color and using it well.
A simple approach
Choose an anchor. Then give every other color a role.
- AnchorPick the hue that carries the character of the work.
- BalanceUse a harmony to decide where contrast and calm belong.
- ApplyReserve the strongest color for the moments that matter most.
