Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a tint and a shade in color theory?

A tint is created by adding pure white to a base color (lightening it), while a shade is created by adding pure black (darkening it).

Are the generated shades suitable for UI button hover states?

Yes! Using a 10% shade for button hover and a 20% shade for active pressed states is standard design system practice.
