The method further involves deriving lighter color options and/or darker color options from one or more base colors associated with the current color scheme and rendering the color picker UI including the lighter color options and/or the darker color options derived from the base colors associated with the current color scheme. The current color scheme includes color options that definitively or aesthetically compliment one another.
