💡 Looking for soft, pastel tones?
Click the Tints option (look at the fifth color swatch) to explore lighter versions of your base color. These gentle hues, created by blending your color with white, often resemble pastel shades, perfect for calming, elegant, or playful designs.

What Is a Base Color?

A base color is the foundation of your color palette, the first hue you choose when crafting a visual theme. It's the color you enter or select , and it acts as the anchor around which all other colors are built. This primary hue sets the tone, mood, and emotional impact of your design, whether it's bold and energetic or soft and calming.

From this base, you can generate:

Complementary colors: These sit opposite the base color on the color wheel and create strong contrast.
Triadic colors: These are evenly spaced around the color wheel, forming a vibrant and balanced trio.
Tints: These are lighter versions of the base color, created by adding white (base + white).
Shades: These are darker versions, created by adding black (base + black).
