Light Salmon — 11-step color scale

Light Salmon (#ffa07a) sits at 500, untouched. Every other step is Light Salmon 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.#ffa07a

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

Semantic colors from Light Salmon

Success, warning, error and the rest are derived from Light Salmon 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 #ffa07a

Suggested	Protanopia	Deuteranopia	Tritanopia
success#c0af48	9.6	6.3	13.3
warning#f38d85	8.9	6.5	3.6
error#9e5086	43.9	41.4	24.2
discovery#9aa6fc	43.9	48.5	47.1
info#1dc6c2	22.4	33.6	58.0
neutral#afa29d	14.9	18.3	18.5

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 warning suggestion starts out colliding with Light Salmon under Tritanopia — ΔE₀₀ 3.6, below the 11 threshold — so the engine shifts its hue within the warning family until the pair pulls apart again.
