SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and agents (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the creation of complete, accessible color palettes from a single brand hex color, saving significant design and development time.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Shade Generation: Creates an 11-shade scale (50-950) from a base color.
  • Semantic Tokens: Maps shades to design tokens (e.g., background, foreground, primary).
  • Dark Mode Variants: Generates complementary dark mode colors.
  • WCAG Contrast Checking: Ensures text accessibility ratios are met.
  • Use Case: Setting up a new design system, creating a custom Tailwind CSS theme, or ensuring brand colors are accessible for all users.

Quick Start

Generate a complete color palette from the brand hex color #0D9488.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate an accessible color palette from a single brand hex color?

You can generate an accessible color palette from a single brand hex color by creating an 11-shade scale (50-950) and mapping them to semantic tokens. The process includes HSL color manipulation for consistent hue interpolation and automated WCAG contrast checks.

Can I use this color palette generator with Tailwind CSS v4?

Yes, the color palette generator supports Tailwind CSS v4. It outputs semantic tokens and the 11-shade color scale using the Tailwind v4 @theme syntax, allowing direct integration into your design system configuration.

Does generating a color palette include dark mode variants and contrast checking?

Generating a color palette includes both dark mode variants and contrast checking. It creates complementary dark mode colors and performs WCAG contrast checks to ensure text accessibility ratios are met across both light and dark themes.

What is the best way to set up semantic color tokens for a design system?

The best way to set up semantic color tokens is to derive them from an 11-shade scale generated via HSL interpolation. This maps raw shades to semantic tokens like background, foreground, and primary, ensuring consistent light and dark mode variants.

How are semantic tokens mapped to the 11-shade color scale?

Semantic tokens are mapped to the 11-shade color scale by assigning specific shades to design tokens such as background, foreground, and primary. This uses HSL lightness interpolation to maintain visual consistency across the generated palette.

Does the generated color palette meet WCAG accessibility standards?

The generated color palette meets WCAG accessibility standards by performing automated contrast checks. These checks verify that text against the generated semantic tokens and shades meets required accessibility ratios for both light and dark modes.
