Lavender — 11-step color scale

Lavender (#e6e6fa) sits at 500, untouched. Every other step is Lavender 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.#e6e6fa

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

Semantic colors from Lavender

Success, warning, error and the rest are derived from Lavender 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 #e6e6fa

Suggested	Protanopia	Deuteranopia	Tritanopia
success#8cbaa3	21.3	19.4	20.7
warning#d1a193	24.6	25.1	27.9
error#cb9fb6	16.2	14.8	26.2
discovery#a4abd4	15.6	16.4	15.8
info#80babc	13.2	14.5	23.1
neutral#9d9daf	18.6	18.7	18.6

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 is the closest call: it clears the threshold under Protanopia, but only reaches ΔE₀₀ 13.2, so it sits just above the 11 line rather than comfortably past it.
