Storm
A deep, cool cyan -- the dependable foundation of trustworthy interfaces.
Create Storm 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;
$storm = Color::parse('#4F666A');ColorInterface
$storm
#4f666a · oklch(0.4932 0.0282 209.3)
Tint Storm for a system
Storm is a neutral, so rotating its hue changes nothing. Design systems rarely ship a pure neutral either: give it a trace of chroma and it belongs to the palette around it.
<?php
$neutral = $storm->to('oklch');
foreach (['warm' => 60, 'fresh' => 150, 'cool' => 250] as $name => $hue) {
echo $neutral->withChannel('c', 0.02)->withChannel('h', $hue)->toHex().PHP_EOL;
}- Warm
#6a5f56 - Fresh
#5a655b - Cool

Generate a Storm scale
Keep the original hue and chroma, then vary OKLCH lightness to produce perceptually ordered steps.
<?php
$oklch = $storm->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 Storm for the web
The same object can emit a compact Hex value, an sRGB CSS function, or its perceptual OKLCH coordinates.
<?php
$hex = $storm->toHex();
$rgb = $storm->toCss('srgb');
$oklch = $storm->to('oklch')->toCss();- hex
#4f666a- rgb
rgb(79 102 106)- oklch
