What is Online Color Shades Generator?

Color Shades Generator is a free online tool for generating a color palette from shades of a color. You can set the step size and step count for your needs easily.

If you are working on a user interface (UI) design or coding a website, it is better to use shades of a color instead of using random colors to provide a more holistic view for users. If you define these colors as parameters in your theme and use them on your project, it will provide consistency between your pages. Otherwise, it will become hard to control your color palette.

Why Use Color Shades?

Using lighter or darker shade of a color may be useful on hover effects, box-shadows, borders and on many UI elements since it gives a more natural look on the design as well as all elements looks complementary and become a piece of a puzzle.
