About K’uychi
K’uychi is a simple utility for generating color palettes. By selecting a base color, it
automatically creates a consistent scale of lighter and darker shades using the OKLab color
space, ensuring perceptual uniformity.
Designed for developers and designers, K’uychi simplifies the task of finding the right tone
for your interface. You can copy the hexadecimal value of any generated shade with a single
click, ready to use in CSS or your preferred design tool.
Built with Libadwaita, the application integrates seamlessly with the GNOME desktop. The name
"K’uychi" comes from the Quechua word for "rainbow".
