What is the purpose of the color lines in the color swatch?

Answer 1 · 2017-04-04T22:01:24.000Z

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

Answer 2 · 2017-04-04T22:03:24.000Z

How are the desaturated and shadowed versions determined?

@lfrancis 20% black, 20% white:

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.
