About brass in UI and branding
Warm brass HSL ramps from deep shadows to light tints — one-click HEX for CSS and mood boards.
Brass shades support charts, tags, illustrations, and brand accents. Anchor a token scale on one mid ramp swatch, then generate lighter and darker steps with our tint and shade tools.
The grid below lists HSL-derived steps you can copy as HEX for CSS, design tokens, and presentation decks. For a custom ramp from your own seed color, open the tint & shade generator or export a full scale with the CSS variables generator.

Shades of brass — FAQ
How were these brass swatches generated?
Swatches use HSL lightness and saturation steps tuned for brass hues. They are starting points for UI exploration—verify brand-critical colors against official guides.
Can I use these brass HEX values in production?
Yes for general interface work. Run text and icon pairs through our contrast checker and calibrate on target displays when accessibility matters.
Do you cover Pantone or print for brass?
These are sRGB screen values. Print and packaging need ICC profiles, spot inks, or Pantone books—not HEX copied from the web alone.
How do I build a custom brass ramp?
Pick a seed HEX in the tint & shade generator or generate 50–950 tokens in the CSS variables tool.
What is the difference between shade and tint for brass?
Shades mix toward black; tints mix toward white. This page spans both ends of the lightness scale for brass family hues.
