# Color Palette ## Overview This skill helps you create purposeful, accessible, and cohesive color palettes for digital products and brands. Color is one of the highest-leverage design decisions you can make—it communicates brand personality, guides user attention, conveys meaning, and determines whether your product is usable by people with visual impairments. This skill covers brand palette creation, semantic color systems (primary, secondary, neutral, semantic), accessibility validation against WCAG standards, and design token documentation. The output is a structured, ready-to-use color system, not a mood board. ## When to Use - Creating a color palette for a new brand, product, or design system - Extending an existing brand palette for digital use - Auditing an existing palette for accessibility issues - Defining semantic color roles (primary, danger, success, warning, neutral) - Generating color token documentation for developer handoff - Choosing colors for a specific context (dark mode, data visualization, illustration) ## When NOT to Use - Photo editing or color grading (use dedicated image editing tools) - Print production color matching (CMYK and Pantone matching requires specialized tools) - Interior design or physical product color specification - Fashion or textile color selection ## Quick Reference | Task | Approach | |------|----------| | Brand palette | Start with 1 primary hue, add 1–2 accent hues, build neutrals | | Accessibility | Text on background mu
