Navajo White — 11-step color scale

Navajo White (#ffdead) sits at 500, untouched. Every other step is Navajo White 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.#ffdead

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 Navajo White

Success, warning, error and the rest are derived from Navajo White 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 #ffdead

Suggested	Protanopia	Deuteranopia	Tritanopia
success#87bc9c	12.5	17.6	39.2
warning#d29c84	16.5	14.6	16.2
error#d19cb8	31.0	26.7	14.6
discovery#9aaddd	38.1	40.7	39.7
info#74bdbf	24.4	31.5	41.0
neutral#afa89d	18.3	19.5	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 12.5, so it sits just above the 11 line rather than comfortably past it.
