Technical Specification & Mathematical Principles

Shades are calculated via linear attenuation: Channel_step = Math.round(Channel_base * (1 - step / N)) where step = 0, 1, ..., N.

At step = 0, the color remains unchanged. At step = N, all channels scale to zero, terminating at true black #000000.

Frequently Asked Questions

In classical and digital color theory, a shade is created by adding pure black to a pure hue or base color, systematically decreasing its lightness without altering its fundamental hue angle.
