This page is mostly for myself, but I think you might get some use out of it, hopefully? :)

Just enter your base colour in the bar and receive a set of colours for lighting and shadows! Click any individual palette circle if you want to open the colour without the affects. Either for eyedropping in your preferred art program or maybe just to get a better look.

This isn't a full on palette generator like Coolor or what have you. This is more so intended to give you ideas of how you want to do your shading. The way this generator works is that you enter your base colour, and it offers you some colours to use for both shadows and lights for your base colour. Two lighter and two darker. Highlights are meant to move toward being warmer and shadows cooler but that's just how I do it, and these are just suggestions.

Because this is being done mathematically rather than by eyeballing or through some complex algorithm, it's not perfect, admittedly. Sometimes it can give wacky responses. BUT for the most part, it works as a baseline. But I think it can be easier to iterate off something when you have the colours in front of you than if you're trying to pull purely from your mind.

I might eventually add things like options to make the shadows warm and the light cold! Or a regular palette generator. Maybe a skintone randomizer. There's a lot of ideas! If you have one, leave it in the chattable on the front page, and I'll think about it.
