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 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.

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!

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.
