Lime — 11-step color scale

Lime (#00ff00) sits at 500, untouched. Every other step is Lime 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.#00ff00

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 Lime

Success, warning, error and the rest are derived from Lime 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 #00ff00

Suggested	Protanopia	Deuteranopia	Tritanopia
success#a39500	23.3	17.7	46.8
warning#ff8382	30.5	17.0	72.2
error#ff70d6	59.8	46.8	74.6
discovery#ba98ff	61.4	58.6	34.0
info#19bcff	56.8	59.2	14.2
neutral#738c73	34.6	32.4	30.6

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 Tritanopia, but only reaches ΔE₀₀ 14.2, so it sits just above the 11 line rather than comfortably past it.
