Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer program products generate lighter or darker color options from one or more base colors to apply to a document. A method involves enabling a color picker user interface (UI) according to developer specifications, receiving a user request to view the color picker UI, and determining a current color scheme for the document. The method further involves deriving lighter color options and/or darker color options from one or more base colors associated with the current color scheme and rendering the color picker UI including the lighter color options and/or the darker color options derived from the base colors associated with the current color scheme. The current color scheme includes color options that definitively or aesthetically compliment one another.
