Dark Blue — 11-step color scale

Dark Blue (#00008b) sits at 500, untouched. Every other step is Dark Blue 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.#00008b

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

Semantic colors from Dark Blue

Success, warning, error and the rest are derived from Dark Blue 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 #00008b

Suggested	Protanopia	Deuteranopia	Tritanopia
success#003606	50.0	48.0	17.5
warning#590000	43.0	51.6	39.8
error#54002a	18.3	31.9	38.6
discovery#002564	7.0	7.8	7.3
info#002f45	13.2	13.3	12.4
neutral#49495a	17.5	19.8	14.0

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 Dark Blue under Protanopia — ΔE₀₀ 7.0, below the 11 threshold — so the engine shifts its hue within the discovery family until the pair pulls apart again.
