Greg135 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Hi there, This might sound like an absolutely dumb question....but bear with me please.... A customer has given me a colour to work with but I have to come up with a darker version and several shades that are lighter as well. I'm stumped....I've played around with the colour wheel in PDN but can't seem to generate the right colours.... I always seem to come up with something that doesn't match the colour the original... How can I generate several shades of a colour????? Your help is appreciated... Regards Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarkut Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Set your starting color as primary color. Expand the Color window. (The button that says More >> ) Move the slider labeled V: . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAND33P Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Also u can use the gradient tool. Select the Gradient tool and set the white's transparency to 0 in MORE. Then clcik and drag across your image, now u have a multitude of colours. You can also use the color picker tool to choose your favourite.
