What is the difference between linear and HSL tinting?

Linear tinting adds white mathematically to the RGB channels, while HSL tinting increases the lightness value in the HSL color space, which often feels more natural to the human eye.

Can I export the generated colors?

Yes, the tool displays HEX, RGB, and HSL codes for every generated tint, which you can easily copy and paste into your CSS or design software.

How many tints can I generate at once?

You can generate between 2 and 12 tint variations depending on your specific design requirements.

What does the 'Tint Intensity' setting do?

It sets the maximum lightness threshold (from 0.1 to 1.0), determining how close to pure white your lightest generated color will be.

Does this tool support custom step distributions?

Yes, you can select 'Custom Steps' and provide comma-separated values to precisely control the lightness progression of your palette.
