Maize
A pastel lime with the freshness of a spring lime.
Create Maize 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;
$maize = Color::parse('#FBEC5D');
use PhpColor\Color\Color;
$maize = Color::parse('#FBEC5D');

#fbec5d · oklch(0.9294 0.1606 103.3)
Build a Maize harmony
tetradic() keeps Maize and adds three partners at equal quarter-turns around the OKLCH hue wheel.
<?php
$harmony = $maize->tetradic();
foreach ($harmony as $color) {
echo $color->toHex().PHP_EOL;
}
$harmony = $maize->tetradic();
foreach ($harmony as $color) {
echo $color->toHex().PHP_EOL;
}

Generate a Maize scale
Keep the original hue and chroma, then vary OKLCH lightness to produce perceptually ordered steps.
<?php
$oklch = $maize->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);
}
$oklch = $maize->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 Maize for the web
The same object can emit a compact Hex value, an sRGB CSS function, or its perceptual OKLCH coordinates.
<?php
$hex = $maize->toHex();
$rgb = $maize->toCss('srgb');
$oklch = $maize->to('oklch')->toCss();
$hex = $maize->toHex();
$rgb = $maize->toCss('srgb');
$oklch = $maize->to('oklch')->toCss();
