Custom color help

[LAB02-Admin]

Hey @Madelena,

I've started using your theme and really love it! So clean, and I love how easy you made it to create color variations :) However, I'm a bit stuck at determining exactly what colors to enter. I'd like to add a variation that matches the color I use in Windows (#038387), but I'm not sure what's the best way to get the rgb-primary-color-darker, rgb-primary-color-lighter and accent-color values.

Are there some tricks or sites that assist in this?

Like I said in my forumpost, I suck at graphic design :x

@LAB02-Admin Here's the Adobe Color wheel method @legovaer used a while ago, which I thought was pretty clever and consistent: #19

Basically, you can enter the existing lighter/normal/darker values into the wheel, and then when you move any of the colors, the wheel will automatically calculate the corresponding values of the other two colors for you.

Neat, thanks! I'll go play with it
