Technical Specification & Mathematical Principles
The Hue coordinate is locked at H = Hue_anchor across all steps.
Lightness scales linearly between 15% and 90%: L_i = 15 + i * (75 / 4), while saturation scales progressively to maintain deep chromatic definition across all five tiers.
Frequently Asked Questions
A monochromatic palette uses only one single Hue angle from the color wheel, creating tonal variations purely by modulating lightness (adding white or black) and saturation (chromatic purity).
