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"?
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!

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.
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.
Best tutorial for making a color palettes. Over the years i have looked up for many yt videos and tutorials and articles but this method really helped and me understand how to make a color palette. thank you so much it really helped
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
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
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! 😊❤
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.
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
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. 👏
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.
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
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.
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.
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😊
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!
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.
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.
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.
Your video helped me get better understanding on how I can use colour more intuitively but I still have this question how do you use this arc to pick color. Figma does not have that acr features and if I use HSB to tweak colour it changes in the learner.
8:50m well spent. Thank you for this! I have a question though. Do we need to create the same number of shades(as a good practice)? I have seen style guides with 9 primary colour & 7 grey shades.
How do you prefer to convert physical colors to digital? I use a Pantone color Bridge that translate PMS into CMYK, HTML (Hex) and RGB. Panton connect for Adobe applications can also be useful. To me it boils down to optical judgement as well when converting physical colors to digital application. There's no way of controlling the outcome on digital devices but gotta try to make the process as predictable as possible at least.
The supporting colors for success, warning, danger, and information seem pretty standard and quickly to understand for users. What if my main brand color is also green? Will I just have two different greens? As in one green palette for success and one for my primary?

i don t know why but my collor palette looks different than his (2:18) like mine is muuuch more white, and the starting point would be found corner right botom, THANKS! Edit: if i follow the HSB rule it works but the point do not form an arched line

Really this is the most fantastic video i have seen on colour theory. Amazing😍😍
What you did at 6:45 was completely glossed over, how did you get that line, how did you "just fix" it that way
6:06 Never knew that this is what Tailwindcss color sets are based on. Makes total sense and they all go well with each other.
This is the first video of yours that i have seen and i really loved how you explained and demonstrated things, thank you very much for sharing!
