Saturated Gemstone Hues
Jewel tones rely on high saturation and reduced lightness to mimic the deep, reflective qualities of precious stones like emeralds, sapphires, and rubies. This preset restricts the math to those specific parameters, outputting heavy, dramatic triads that avoid looking pastel or washed out. The resulting schemes carry visual weight, making them suitable for dark mode interfaces or moody branding.
Pinning and Extraction
Whenever you see a color that anchors your scheme, pin it in place. Hitting the space key will rotate the remaining unlocked slots through new triad configurations without touching your locked choices. If the current combination is close but not quite right, hold shift while pressing space to slightly shift the hues while maintaining the same dense saturation.
Output Formats
Clicking the alphanumeric value on any swatch grabs the hex code for immediate pasting. When you have a complete five-color arrangement, the export menu bundles the entire set into a block of CSS variables or a JSON array. You can also click the external link icon on any individual stone to immediately derive a full ten-step lightness ramp from it.
