An exploration of black color palettes.

50 shades of black

Even when we refer to black, we will still think of many different hex refs other than #000000. There are innumerable versions of black, yet nomenclature for the color is inadequate. This library of black color palettes attempts to explore the many variations of black, taken from well-known design systems and inspired by fictional sources.

Grab the colors to use in your own projects as CSS variables or SCSS variables from the dist folder.

Thanks ❤️

This project was inspired by Colors, fun chats about color with the GitHub design team, and built with some helpful JS lessons from @jxnblk.

50shadesofblk's Issues

Please stop war in Ukraine

While Ukraine is under missile attacks GitHub could be used by Russians to develop apps and platforms aiming to destabilize Ukrainian web resources.

Please, prevent these actions and don't stay on the same side with invaders! All information about war can be found at: https://war.ukraine.ua/

We ask you to close GitHub for Russia and its developers! We value your support and we are in need for your actions!

Readme addition
