Shaded Gray

The color code indicates, that Shaded Gray is driven by almost equal parts of the primary colors red, green and blue. All three combined result in the basic color white, while the basic color black derives from the absence of color light.

The mixture ratio between the two achromatic basic colors results in a brightness of 35 %. Therefore, Shaded Gray is a rather dark color. With no chromatic basic colors present, the saturation remains 0 % and the color is called grayscale.

About

A good starting point is the explore page where you can view featured palettes and colors. Blending two colors together is a great way to compose new color shades. It is also possible to inspect a given color code to find out more about its derivation and structure.

The application relies heavily on hexadecimal codes as a widely used color reference and the color theory of Harald Küppers.

PS: You can always press Space to get a random color.

PPS: This is currently a beta version. Please help by reporting bugs.
