Tonal transition by adding gray

Ta funkcja generuje sekwencję kolorów poprzez stopniowe dodawanie szarości do głównego koloru. Zmniejsza nasycenie małymi krokami, tworząc serię stopniowo wyciszanych odcieni. Każdy krok miesza oryginalny kolor z rosnącą ilością szarości, przechodząc w bardziej neutralny ton.

Tonal Range

This section showcases a smooth transition of shades from slightly darker to slightly lighter variations of the main color. The central color is the main color of the page, while the shades before it are progressively darker, and the ones after it are progressively lighter. The transition is subtle, with the darker shades decreasing the lightness by a small percentage and the lighter shades increasing the lightness, allowing for a harmonious and balanced gradient of colors.

Above, you’ll find the standard tonal variations. Below, however, we’ve taken a more experimental approach. By tweaking the lightness and saturation, we’ve created palettes inspired by the preferences of the typical woman, man, and child—at least according to statistical trends. Of course, this is all in good fun, so we encourage you to take these color choices with a grain of salt.

Palette for Women

We've allowed ourselves to conduct a small experiment with this palette by adjusting brightness and saturation to reflect the preferences of a statistically typical woman. The result is a set of softer, more pastel-like colors that we hope will appeal to you. But remember, this is just an experiment, so take it with a pinch of salt!

Palette for Men

This palette is the result of a little experiment where we've adjusted the brightness and saturation to match what might be preferred by the average man. The outcome? A selection of cooler, more muted shades that we think will resonate. But of course, it's all in good fun—feel free to take it with a grain of salt!

Palette for Children

For this palette, we’ve taken a fun approach by adjusting brightness and saturation to reflect what might be most appealing to children. The result? Bright, bold, and energetic colors that aim to capture a child’s vibrant world.
