2 years of trying to master colors using articles and videos and this is the most clear the process has ever been illustrated

[@uxtools]

Awesome 🙌 Glad it's helpful!

[@manoskand]

For the people that trying to find the method to find the arc, what i do is this : - I Pick the starting point color as he says - From that color, in order to create the bright colors, i add -20 to Saturation and +5 To Brightness and i increase it by -20 and +5 untill i reach to the brightess color - I do the same for the black but the other way arround, meaning that i add from the starting color +5 Saturation and -20 Brightness and i increase. You will see by doing this the colors are fitting on the arc that the video says. I hope i helped you.

[@dmytrokhomenchuk2619]

Hey, thanks for your sharing. I used this promt in Bard: I have 5 tints. 

 The first one: has a saturation of 8 and a brightness of 100. 
 The fifth has: has a saturation of 77 and a brightness of 92. 

 Could you interpolate, calculate fade from the first tint to the fifth one, and show this in the table with values "S" and "B"?

[@renovatingcity6050]

Thanks it's much easier to understand and execute

[@joshuamensah9309]

You are a legend, thank you for this!

[@munigoutham4371]

The Saturation & Brightness for Starting Point are 80,80.

[@MikeTrif]

The arc method for picking shades seems like a game-changer.

[@prajwalsharma2794]

I agree. I made my first case study's color palette with a plugin. But, I think doing with the arc method manually is even better. You have more flexibility.

[@Rishik_Jha]

@@prajwalsharma2794 how do yo do it manualy ?

[@prajwalsharma2794]

I am a front-end web developer that had always struggled with picking colors. I have watched hours of content on this but your video gave me the most clarity. Thank you.

[@jeromysoto8492]

Same

[@wdwaleed]

Same. I haven't tried it out yet but I hope it works practically as well just like explained in the video.

[@avedisdakesian9785]

First video I see from this channel, and as a product designer, I like you! Genuine, not trying to sell anything, not exaggerating anything. As if a colleague was talking to me showing their process. Keep being real!

[@uxtools]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@juliesz78]

The level of detail and clarity is really impressive. Thank you, that's super helpful!

[@devanshjolapara6964]

I am startup founder, I'm just starting out, and as I'm writing this message, I'm just so happy for finding this video. Because, I'm not joking at all when I say that I blew my eyes out just trying to find the right colours for our new SaaS product. I found this video extremely helpful. Thank you so much for sharing these tips.

[@pavantodupunuri2562]

oh man, what can I say? I have been searching for months on techniques to pick a color. I couldn't possibly find a better video than this. It's simple, precise and to the point. No forced jokes, no unnecessary animation. So plain and simple, yet conveys all the information under 10 mins. Using HSB over Hex color code is a game changer for me in terms of how you think. I have added your video to my playlist and downloaded the video just in case. Thank you so much!

[@ba9.9.9]

Words cant describe how good this video is. I learned more about choosing color for my website in 9 minutes than I have spending hours reading and watching other videos.

[@smirkishi]

as a graphic design student i wanna say: I LOVE YOU. i´ve been searching for some video like this and this is exactly what i´ve been looking for. thank you sm for share thissss with usss

[@atharvadikondawar8268]

After watching a dozen videos this is the only video anyone needs to understand color

[@UmairUlhaque]

Hi Jordan, thank you for providing valuable knowledge about using colors from the HSB model. I was always confused about how brands come up with complete color systems, including lots, tints, and shades, specifically when working on digital products like web apps and mobile apps. I am learning product design from the very basics, so keep delivering such knowledge. 👏

[@uxtools]

Thanks so much, glad it was helpful! Best of luck on your product design journey 💪

[@rockyromay]

Simply: from far, your tutorial is the best in the world . Thank you a lot!

[@felipemattosinho]

This is by far the best video tutorial on the subject I have ever seen

[@Wormsandconditions]

I have over 4000 liked videos across KZbin, mostly in the realm of design, business, etc. This is one of the best and most informative videos I have ever seen on here. Thanks for the video, immensely.

[@sophiaumezinwa9655]

OMG, you are the best in this whole earth, I've been confused and lost about color but you made the explanation real. I get the whole logic now, thank you and God bless I'm so happy , Yo! 😊❤

[@arjunhadke1113]

I pray for those who are disliking this video. God help them. This is just awesome. Precise, short, easy to pick up the concept. Brilliant job.

[@adedejijubril8048]

this is the best resource I've come across concerning the creation of colour palettes. You've just helped me overcome my longstanding battle with colours. Thanks a lot

[@uifry]

"Bravo! This design is a work of art that brilliantly combines aesthetics and functionality."

[@neeshsamsi]

Wow this is extremely helpful. I’ve always wondered how frameworks like Tailwind creates their palettes and how I can make similar palettes with my own colors and didn’t find any resources this comprehensive.

[@uxtools]

Happy to help Avaneesh!

[@rammrras9683]

This is pure gold for someone like me who's trying to build nice and easy to operate HMI.

[@naimurrahman9979]

I'm a web developer but the video was very helpful for me, because sometimes we developers needs to choose the color palette for ourself for some projects, this mini course helped me a lot to learn about colors, thanks very much

[@oussamaeljabbari]

The best video that helps to build color palettes, I am not a designer (Developer) and the video was very clear and useful.

[@aronfarsang1481]

This video is extremely helpful, I've been using this method ever since.

[@97Syahmie]

This is a game changing video on how to pick colors, God bless you!

[@PizzaPastaAndGaming-pu2ko]

This is probably the best tutorial for non designer I ever seen

[@the_true_hier_to_the_sharingan]

The most helpful video on creating a color palette.

[@uxtools]

Wow, feeling honored!

[@BlackxesWasTaken]

Dude this is insanely helpful.. 1 year ago and god damn this is just amazing I struggle so bad with selecting colors and iterated the palette of a project so many times yet was still not satisfied nor did it look good Now.. BOOM it looks good and the colors don't fight eachother which is .. well.. I hope I could express my delight :D

[@Matthijs1308]

this makes a lotta sense, even though i have never heard someone explain it this way. Thank you!

[@SatyamBarnwal090]

Really this is the most fantastic video i have seen on colour theory. Amazing😍😍

[@mbp5863]

Quick question, how do I practically pick colors along that arc? Is there a function in Figma to help choose colors on the arc? Or is there a mathematical framework for changing the HSB values to get the right shades? This is really useful man, great framework!

[@lemonke8132]

yeah i can't believe this wasn't answered

[@zflxw]

I haven't yet found a function for that in Figma, but I have a work-around that I use. First, I open the color picker in Figma, select the HSB color space, and select a hue I like. Then, I screenshot the box of the color picker and insert the image in the Figma file. After that, I take a line and place it from the top left to the bottom right corner. You can then double click the line to enter the "Edit Object" mode. Select the Bend tool and click on the bottom right point. Now drag this point to the top right corner (or a little less, depending on how you want your arc to look). Now you have the arc from the video. Press "Done" do leave edit mode and now place circles (no fill, only stroke) at the approximated locations on the line. You can now disable the arc render and use the color picker (pipette tool) to select the colors inside the circles you placed. It is a bit hacky, I admit, but I haven't figured out a better way.

[@mbp5863]

@@zflxw Thanks, that seems to work pretty well!

[@andrelegris998]

All this time struggling to figure out which palettes to use and why some colors work and others don't and all I had to do was watch your video and now color palettes make sense!! Thanks so much for doing this.

[@tryoxiss]

One big tip is you can use simple patterns to derive the semantic/alternate colors. For example my main color is a purple, so putting I picked an orange and violet as the natural quad of it. Of course also consider your use case, as my stuff tends to deal with a lot of code blocks so making sure you have colors that work well on the neutral backgrounds is important.

[@binh1298ify]

[@Egon15]

Thank you from the bottom of my heart❤. I'm a student trying to make a website. I've seen many sources mention colour palate, but non of them explained specifically when and where to use them on the website. This one really helped a lot😊

[@Mehlo...]

fantastic job. i'm a color nut myself and good content on color for UI is surprisingly sparse if you don't want the typical "add white or black to a base color" approach. lately i've been working in the Hue Chroma Tone (HCT) space to try to avoid pastel hues as we get lighter. i like your method a lot although i wish there was a tool that could draw that bezier through the hue plane for you and then you could pick colors along it. there are a couple that get close but they all draw straight lines rather than the necessary curve.

[@uxtools]

Thanks Aaron! Have you tried colorbox.io/ before?

[@danielolajide194]

Teach me colour design system like I'm 5.. Boom this video🔥🔥

[@CBUXDesigns]

This was helpful!! I use HSB , but HSL is my go to. I have been trying to find a color video for months! When I was first learning colors. But I finally learn something that works. Thank you for the great lesson.

[@uxtools]

HSL is great, too! Glad this is helpful 🙌

[@CodecrafterArtemis]

I've started tinkering with OKLCH lately, a very neat model! Helps you avoid the uneven color brightness ("squiggly line") problem.

[@stuart2151]

I can't believe I haven't come across this sooner, this is so helpful! Thank you!

[@jmcsorley]

Amazing, saved so I can watch it again... yes it was that good 🤓

[@hasibgns]

You can also make three boxes, pick your Main color in the middle, lightest on the left and darkest on the right and select blend tool and pick all three of them accordingly, then go to blend options and select specified steps and type 3 hit ok.

[@uxtools]

That won't get exactly the same results but it'll be close!

[@alleefattah8045]

Nice notes and instructions, thanks

[@alexanderfanden3427]

As you mentioned yourself, this method does not give a cohesive palette, and that’s because HSL/HSB does not consider perceptual lightness. I’d recommend trying OKLCH instead, which solves this problem, so you don’t need to manually adjust the lightness between brighter and darker hues 🎉

[@leandro0rsantos]
