At least one step
One step returns only the source. With more than one, ratios run evenly from zero through one and include white.

Include both ends of the tint sequence
With more than one step, the collection starts with the source and ends at white. Every intermediate color is an evenly spaced Oklab mix.
Generate every tint together
Choose the source and number of steps. PHPColor returns an ordered palette while leaving the source color unchanged.
<?php
use PhpColor\Color\Color;
use PhpColor\Color\Palette\ColorPalette;
$source = Color::parse('#806eae');
$tints = ColorPalette::tints($source, 5);
print_r($tints->toHex());
// #806eae #9e91c3 #bdb5d7 #dddaeb #ffffffTinting is not lightness adjustment
tint() mixes the complete color toward white in Oklab. lighten() changes only the OKLCH lightness coordinate, so the operations do not produce interchangeable sequences.
No semantic guarantee
Tints do not assign token names, guarantee contrast, or guarantee target-gamut output. A translucent source also mixes its alpha toward opaque white.
