Orchid
A light, warm magenta with the energy of a warm sky.
Create Orchid 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;
$orchid = Color::parse('#DA70D6');ColorInterface
$orchid
#da70d6 · oklch(0.7021 0.1813 328.7)
Build an Orchid harmony
tetradic() keeps Orchid and adds three partners at equal quarter-turns around the OKLCH hue wheel.
<?php
$harmony = $orchid->tetradic();
foreach ($harmony as $color) {
echo $color->toHex().PHP_EOL;
}- 0
#da70d6 - 1
#ef7c00 - 2
#30bc5a - 3
#00abff
Generate an Orchid scale
Keep the original hue and chroma, then vary OKLCH lightness to produce perceptually ordered steps.
<?php
$oklch = $orchid->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 Orchid for the web
The same object can emit a compact Hex value, an sRGB CSS function, or its perceptual OKLCH coordinates.
<?php
$hex = $orchid->toHex();
$rgb = $orchid->toCss('srgb');
$oklch = $orchid->to('oklch')->toCss();- hex
#da70d6- rgb
rgb(218 112 214)- oklch
oklch(0.702132 0.181258 328.706)
