It's supposed to show what the color looks like along with a desaturated and shadowed version of the color

lfrancis commented 7 years ago

How are the desaturated and shadowed versions determined?

Is this display intended to be useful to the end user, or is it a simple decoration of the assigned color swatch?

It's supposed to show how the color looks inside design features. Example: You ask the user to pick a background color, but you might be floating a shadowed box on top of that background, etc

I'm with Lewis, I think this is confusing in most cases.
