Malachite is a curated PHPColor catalog color with the canonical value #0bda51.

Create Malachite 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;

$malachite = Color::parse('#0BDA51');
use PhpColor\Color\Color; $malachite = Color::parse('#0BDA51');

Build a Malachite harmony

tetradic() keeps Malachite and adds three partners at equal quarter-turns around the OKLCH hue wheel.

<?php

$harmony = $malachite->tetradic();

foreach ($harmony as $color) {
    echo $color->toHex().PHP_EOL;
}
$harmony = $malachite->tetradic(); foreach ($harmony as $color) { echo $color->toHex().PHP_EOL; }

Generate a Malachite scale

Keep the original hue and chroma, then vary OKLCH lightness to produce perceptually ordered steps.

<?php

$oklch = $malachite->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 = $malachite->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 Malachite for the web

The same object can emit a compact Hex value, an sRGB CSS function, or its perceptual OKLCH coordinates.

<?php

$hex   = $malachite->toHex();
$rgb   = $malachite->toCss('srgb');
$oklch = $malachite->to('oklch')->toCss();
$hex = $malachite->toHex(); $rgb = $malachite->toCss('srgb'); $oklch = $malachite->to('oklch')->toCss();
