I count 8 colours on this website. The 4 mentioned, plus: white (appearing in the hue slider), light-pink (background of code box) and two types of gray (appear

  White and grey are shades, rather than typical colours. Any hue with 0 saturation will be a shade between white and black. (Yes, probably there are arguments against this, but in terms of colour theory for dummies.)

    So is a change of hue required in order to say there's been a change of color? I'm not offering saturation in this question, since "oh that's just a less saturated red" seems similar enough to the notion of "oh that's just a lighter red" that the two ought to be in the same "not color" boat...

      I think that’s more of a question of semantics than colour theory, but maybe? Is pink just light red? Feels like the answer should be no, and that undermines my basic premise above, so I find myself doing mental gymnastics trying to answer your question, which more often than not is a sure fire way to tell that I’m wrong.

      Assuming the hue and saturation components stay the same, changes in lightness would result in various shades of the same “color”. I think. Maybe. The problem is that in real life changes in lightness result in changes in saturation as well, so things get wonky.

  Well these are the colors they define: --primary-color: hsl(var(--hue), 50%, 90%); --pre-primary-color: hsl(var(--hue), 50%, 95%); --secondary-color: hsl(var(--hue), 50%, 10%); --tertiary-color: hsl(var(--tertiary-hue), 80%, 20%); --accent-color: hsl(var(--accent-hue), 80%, 20%); As I see it that's either 3 colors or 5 colors but not 4
