## What it is
Scale is a web-based generative color scale generator for creating consistent color ramps used in design systems and UI. It runs entirely in the browser at hihayk.github.io/scale.

## Use cases
- generate a color scale for a design system
- create tints and shades of a brand color
- build accessible color ramps for UI components
- find intermediate colors between two hues
- export color palettes for CSS variables
- pick a smooth gradient of colors for charts

## When to choose
- you need a quick, visual tool to generate color scales in the browser
- you are designing a design system and need consistent tints/shades
- you want a free, no-install color ramp generator

## When to avoid
- you need programmatic color generation as a library or CLI in your build pipeline
- you require a maintained, licensed dependency (the repo has no license)
- you need advanced palette features like contrast auditing or color-blindness simulation

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: stable
- function: graphics, ui-components, data-visualization
- domain: web-design, frontend, graphics
- platform: browser, cross-platform
