Color/Gradient Generator from hex codes
August 27, 2010 8:04 AM Subscribe
Looking for a color/gradient generator where you put in your hex code (#6699CC) and it generates shades of that color from white, to the color, to black. It's a very plain page with just the shades from light to dark and their hex codes.
Response by poster: No, it's a tool where you just put in your one color, but that might work.
To clarify, this is an existing site, and I lost my bookmark. Can't find it in google, or on the sites I would have got the link from in the first place.

I really like color synthaxis. It takes some tinkering with to get the results you like, but it's worth the effort.

Response by poster: None of those is the specific site I was looking for, but I appreciate the links!
This one the entire page was just colors, in a column from white down to black. It didn't do complimentary colors, etc, just shades.
@odinsdream, that works, but this was a little more subtle.

Best answer: Might have been Westciv's linear gradient tool? But you could try searching delicious for something like gradient tool to see if the one you're thinking of comes up.

Probably not what you're looking for, but I'll throw it out there.

Response by poster: It wasn't called a gradient generator as far as I remember, that's just what it looked like when it generated the shades. I'm pretty sure it had the word hex in it.
Thanks for all the links.
