Dark Cyan — 11-step color scale

Dark Cyan (#008b8b) sits at 500, untouched. Every other step is Dark Cyan 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.#008b8b

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

Semantic colors from Dark Cyan

Success, warning, error and the rest are derived from Dark Cyan 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.

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 info suggestion starts out colliding with Dark Cyan under Tritanopia — ΔE₀₀ 2.8, below the 11 threshold — so the engine shifts its hue within the info family until the pair pulls apart again.
