Generate Lighter Tints of Any Color Generate lighter tints of any color with adjustable step count.

A color tint generator creates progressively lighter versions of any base color by increasing its lightness toward white in HSL color space. Tints preserve the original hue and saturation while adding white, producing softer, more delicate versions of the color. The lightest tints approach pastel territory — those soft, airy colors that work beautifully for backgrounds, cards, and subtle UI elements. Tints are the opposite of shades: while shades darken toward black, tints lighten toward white. Together, they form the foundation of any complete color scale. This tool generates tints with even lightness distribution and shows the lightness percentage for each step, making it easy to build systematic color palettes for design systems.
