Simple tool that helps web designers find lighter and darker colors based on any color

joomlaweb@aplusinternet.net (JoomlaWeb) — Mon, 03 May 2010 15:49:25 PDT

Basically, it's a simple tool that helps web designers find lighter and darker colors based on any color. Why is this necessary? Well, that takes a little more explanation.

0to255 cures your color manipulation woes. Simply pick the color that you want to start with and 0to255 gives you a range of colors from black to white using an interval optimized for web design. Then, just click the variation you want to use and the hex code is automatically copied to your clipboard.

It's fun, simple, and a huge time-saver.

For years there has been a common situation that is not easily addressed by Joomla: what to do when you want to turn a module off on a single page when you want to leave it as "show on every page". Up until now, the only options we were able to offer our clients is one of the following:
