About Color Darkening

Color darkening is essential in design for creating depth, contrast, and visual hierarchy. Our tool offers multiple darkening methods to achieve different effects:

  • Lightness: Reduces HSL lightness value for natural darkening
  • Multiply: Multiplies RGB values for realistic shadow effects
  • Linear: Linear reduction for even darkening across all channels
  • Power: Exponential darkening for dramatic effects
