Blue Violet — 11-step color scale

Blue Violet (#8a2be2) sits at 500, untouched. Every other step is Blue Violet composited over white or black at a decreasing opacity, so the whole ramp stays in one hue family instead of drifting toward another color at the ends.

Each step is the base composited over white or black at the opacity shown.#8a2be2

For text that needs to pass AA on white, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 950 clear the 4.5:1 line. On a dark surface, 50, 100, 200, 300, 400 do.

Semantic colors from Blue Violet

Success, warning, error and the rest are derived from Blue Violet itself, then checked so they stay distinguishable from the base — and from each other — under the three types of color blindness. The distance below is CIEDE2000 after each simulation.

Derived from #8a2be2

Suggested	Protanopia	Deuteranopia	Tritanopia
success#098500	62.9	59.0	35.5
warning#ce000c	58.0	61.6	35.4
error#c5006c	17.2	34.3	29.0
discovery#275bff	7.7	4.0	33.5
info#0077a0	11.8	8.4	34.4
neutral#887b93	19.7	20.9	17.2

CIEDE2000 distance from the base under each simulation. The lowest of the three decides, and a dot marks the ones that land under 11.

The discovery suggestion starts out colliding with Blue Violet under Deuteranopia — ΔE₀₀ 4.0, below the 11 threshold — so the engine shifts its hue within the discovery family until the pair pulls apart again.
