Harlequin
A pastel green with the freshness of a spring green.
Create Harlequin in PHP
Parse the catalog’s canonical value once, then keep the resulting color object throughout the rest of your code.
<?php
use PhpColor\Color\Color;
$harlequin = Color::parse('#3FFF00');ColorInterface
$harlequin
#3fff00 · oklch(0.8722 0.2870 141.0)
Build a Harlequin harmony
tetradic() keeps Harlequin and adds three partners at equal quarter-turns around the OKLCH hue wheel.
<?php
$harmony = $harlequin->tetradic();
foreach ($harmony as $color) {
echo $color->toHex().PHP_EOL;
}- 0
#3fff00 - 1
#00ecff - 2
#ff84ff - 3
#ff8600
Generate a Harlequin scale
Keep the original hue and chroma, then vary OKLCH lightness to produce perceptually ordered steps.
<?php
$oklch = $harlequin->to('oklch');
foreach ([0.97, 0.92, 0.84, 0.74, 0.66, 0.58, 0.48, 0.40, 0.32, 0.24, 0.16] as $lightness) {
$step = $oklch->withChannel('l', $lightness);

Format Harlequin for the web
The same object can emit a compact Hex value, an sRGB CSS function, or its perceptual OKLCH coordinates.
<?php
$hex = $harlequin->toHex();
$rgb = $harlequin->toCss('srgb');
$oklch = $harlequin->to('oklch')->toCss();- hex
#3fff00- rgb
rgb(63 255 0)- oklch
oklch(0.872159 0.287021 141.018)
