SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Colorize features that are too monochromatic or lack visual interest to make interfaces more engaging and expressive. Use when the user notes the design looks gray, dull, lacking warmth, or needing more color or a more vibrant palette.

Core Features & Use Cases

Strategically introduce color across user interfaces by planning a purposeful palette, applying semantic color for status and meaning, and tinting backgrounds, surfaces, and accents to improve hierarchy and delight. Include a mandatory preparation step: invoke /frontend-design — it contains design principles, anti-patterns, and the Context Gathering Protocol. If no design context exists yet, you MUST run /teach-impeccable and gather existing brand colors. Use this skill to analyze color opportunities, plan a color strategy, and introduce color strategically across semantic elements, backgrounds/surfaces, data visualization, borders, typography, and decorative elements.

  • Use-Cases: Color to convey success, error, warning, info; apply to headers, buttons, cards, icons; ensure accessibility.
  • Example: When a product feature page feels flat, apply a warm accent to primary call-to-action and tint section backgrounds to guide attention.

Quick Start

Provide a color strategy that selects a 2-4 color palette and applies it to primary actions, headers, and surfaces.
