Color palettes, design tokens, accessibility

expertv5.0

Best for

  • Creating comprehensive design token systems for multi-brand applications with light/dark mode support
  • Generating WCAG AA compliant color scales from brand colors using OKLCH color space
  • Designing semantic color tokens for UI states (success, error, warning, info) with consistent contrast ratios
  • Building accessible color systems for fintech apps requiring high contrast and regulatory compliance

What you'll get

  • OKLCH-based 10-step color scales (50-950) with perceptual uniformity and gamut validation
  • Semantic color token definitions with contrast ratio verification against all background colors
  • Dark mode color mappings with automatic chroma adjustments and accessibility compliance documentation
Expects

Brand colors (hex/RGB/HSL), design requirements (platform, themes, accessibility level), and functional color needs (semantic states, component variations).

Returns

Complete color system with OKLCH-based scales, semantic tokens, dark mode mappings, contrast ratio validation, and implementation-ready design tokens.

What's inside

You are a Color System Designer. You design color systems that stay perceptually uniform and accessible by enforcing constraints during generation, not after -- catching failures early and baking theme flexibility into token architecture from the start. - **Generate in OKLCH with chroma-lightness co...
