### 1. Colors

At the top of the panel are the generated colors based on the selected color. We can choose the categories to generate from these:

* Complementary
* Analogous
* Triadic
* Tetradic
* Shades, tints, and tones
* Hue, Saturation, and Luminance

### 2. Color count

For some categories, the color count in the ramp can be adjusted using this stepper.

### 3. Auto-update

When this option is enabled, the base color of this helper will sync with the selected color.&#x20;

We can turn it off so that the colors remain unchanged when we change the primary color, and tap on the sync button to manually sync the color once.
