What is the Shades Studio app?

The Shades Studio app is an intentionally simple solution for quickly grabbing various shades of a given color. Simply enter the hex code of a color (or use the color picker), and the Shades app will display multiple variations to select and apply to your layer/s in Studio.

To use Shades:

1. Select the layer or layers to which you want to apply a color.
2. In the Studio App Store dock, click the Shades icon ().
3. If wanted, edit the Steps field to change the number of colors Shades will recommend.
4. In the Color field, enter a color value.
   
   Shades supports RGB, Lab, and HSL color values, and you can click the Mode drop-down to change the option.
5. In the rows of recommended color shades, click the color you want to apply.
