Moccasin — 11-step color scale

Moccasin (#ffe4b5) sits at 500, untouched. Every other step is Moccasin 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.#ffe4b5

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 Moccasin

Success, warning, error and the rest are derived from Moccasin 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 #ffe4b5

Suggested	Protanopia	Deuteranopia	Tritanopia
success#8bbb9d	13.5	18.0	36.9
warning#d19b8e	18.7	16.1	18.1
error#cf9db5	29.7	25.3	16.2
discovery#9badda	37.2	39.5	37.2
info#79bcbd	23.7	30.4	39.4
neutral#afa89d	18.8	19.6	16.5

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 success suggestion is the closest call: it clears the threshold under Protanopia, but only reaches ΔE₀₀ 13.5, so it sits just above the 11 line rather than comfortably past it.
