Semantic colors from Light Slate Gray
Success, warning, error and the rest are derived from Light Slate Gray 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 #778899
| Suggested | Protanopia | Deuteranopia | Tritanopia |
|---|---|---|---|
| success | 17.4 | 14.7 | 7.5 |
| warning | 23.2 | 25.7 | 34.9 |
| error | 14.1 | 19.0 | 34.6 |
| discovery | 5.8 | 6.0 | 5.6 |
| info | 7.5 | 6.3 | 11.2 |
| neutral | 2.2 | 2.4 | 2.9 |
The neutral suggestion starts out colliding with Light Slate Gray under Protanopia — ΔE₀₀ 2.2, below the 11 threshold — so the engine shifts its hue within the neutral family until the pair pulls apart again.
