The tint-based mode in KColor helps you generate lighter variations of a color, perfect for UI backgrounds, minimal design, or subtle gradients. It’s ideal when you want a soft, airy look across your palette.
What is a tint palette
A tint is created by mixing a base color with white, resulting in lighter tones. A tint palette consists of several shades of the same color with increased lightness, maintaining the original hue while softening its intensity.
How to generate tints in KColor
To generate tints, Switch to tint-based mode and select or input your base color. KColor will automatically calculate a series of lighter tones, spaced evenly in perceived brightness and visual harmony.
Use cases for tint palettes
Tint palettes are commonly used in dashboards, UI backgrounds, infographics, and branding systems where a lighter color range is needed. They improve readability and layering when paired with darker text or accents.
Customize and export
You can lock specific tints, adjust the number of steps, or mix in other modes like contrast or monochrome. Once ready, export your light color palette in Tailwind, SCSS, CSS, or JSON format directly from KColor.
Next steps
If you’re designing a clean interface or a brand with soft tones, generate tints with KColor and build a consistent, elegant color system in seconds.
