I am designing one.
What does vlog kit and setup consist of?
2 years of trying to master colors using articles and videos and this is the most clear the process has ever been illustrated
Awesome 🙌 Glad it's helpful!
The arc method for picking shades seems like a game-changer.
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.
@@prajwalsharma2794 how do yo do it manualy ?
@@Rishik_Jha With estimations.
Try using the tool on 0to255
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.
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"?
Thanks it's much easier to understand and execute
You are a legend, thank you for this!
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.
Same
Same. I haven't tried it out yet but I hope it works practically as well just like explained in the video.

Thank you so much!
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!
Thanks for the kind words!
After watching a dozen videos this is the only video anyone needs to understand color
Simply: from far, your tutorial is the best in the world . Thank you a lot!
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.
The level of detail and clarity is really impressive. Thank you, that's super helpful!
I have over 4000 liked videos across RUclips, 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.
This is indeed the most clear process and explanation for UI Color Palettes. Thank you!
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
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!
😊❤
The best video on color palette I've ever seen. Thanks for making it!
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😊
This is the best content i have watched on thee color tips. This is amazing, easy to follow and understand. Great work
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!
This is pure gold for someone like me who's trying to build nice and easy to operate HMI.
Thank you! Creating color scales has been a puzzle to me but you explained it perfectly! I will make use of it right away.
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.
One of the best explanations so far. Thanks for the effort.
This is a game changing video on how to pick colors, God bless you!
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. 👏
Thanks so much, glad it was helpful! Best of luck on your product design journey 💪
"Bravo! This design is a work of art that brilliantly combines aesthetics and functionality."
This is by far the most useful UI video I've seen, you got a new subscriber right away! 👍
Thank you for breaking this down so clearly! I am going to try out these tips in my next project.
Thank you! This is very helpful, I really appreciate your effort that you and your team made. Keep going on it!! Thank you again. 😊

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
Amazing, this video is just great!
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.
HSL is great, too! Glad this is helpful 🙌
I've started tinkering with OKLCH lately, a very neat model! Helps you avoid the uneven color brightness ("squiggly line") problem.
Very useful information, thank you
This is a nice tutorial for a newbie like me. Thanks for the effort. :D
The best video for this topic
Thanks
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!
yeah i can't believe this wasn't answered
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.
@@zflxw Thanks, that seems to work pretty well!

Teach me colour design system like I'm 5.. Boom this video🔥🔥
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.
nice video & very informative Thank you😃
Great, great job!!
Thanks!
