metallic-colors

A metallic has no one colour. Each tile is three readings of one painted surface — face-on, part-turned, and into the light — mixed in oklab and laid out as light would lay them. Click a tile to inspect it; move over the preview to turn it in the light.

Photographed deck

Twenty-four wall-paint tones read from a printed colour card at three angles.

Classic metals

The familiar metals, authored rather than photographed.

Your own tone

A face colour and a sheen colour are enough; the mid reading and the flop are derived unless you set them.

Beyond swatches

The same background on anything: text, a button, a badge, a ring, a card. All of these follow the inspected tone.
