Generate progressively lighter tints of any color. Tints are made by adding white — perfect for backgrounds, subtle highlights and airy UI surfaces.

What Are Tints?

A tint is a color mixed with white. Adding white raises the lightness while preserving the hue — producing softer, lighter versions of the base color. Tints are essential for creating calm backgrounds and building layered UI surfaces.

How to Use Tints in Design

  • Backgrounds: A 90% tint of your brand color makes a beautiful soft surface.
  • Cards and panels: Slight tints create layered elevation without hard borders.
  • Hover states (inverted): Some designs use tints for hover instead of shades.
  • Highlights: Light tints are great for annotation backgrounds and code blocks.
