Coloki – A simple color palette generator

I built a simple color palette tool inspired by Flexoki by Steph Ango

It's available at coloki.vasser.no

I kept reaching for the Flexoki playground but wanted something simpler.

In it you basically just define a primary color, and it will generate a few darker, and some lighter colors for it.
It started with a very simple, almost fade-like solution, but with that you lose a lot of the saturation.

So there are some adjustments for retaining the saturation in the brighter colors.
But on the darker end, its rather opposite. Here it makes sense to desaturate a little bit.

The extreme ends (brightest and darkest) can't really be treated the same as the rest, so they have slight adjustments making them less affected by the sliders than the more mid-rangy colors.

Anyway. It all kind of makes sense for me, and feels useful, so I just put it out there in case anyone else finds it useful too.
