Pale Turquoise — 11-step color scale

Pale Turquoise (#afeeee) sits at 500, untouched. Every other step is Pale Turquoise 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.#afeeee

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 Pale Turquoise

Success, warning, error and the rest are derived from Pale Turquoise 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 #afeeee

Suggested	Protanopia	Deuteranopia	Tritanopia
success#89bba3	17.2	17.4	13.2
warning#cda587	23.6	26.3	44.8
error#d39f9c	18.6	20.7	46.7
discovery#9facd7	18.6	15.8	17.0
info#7eb9c6	13.3	13.4	12.5
neutral#9dafaf	14.6	14.1	18.4

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 12.5, so it sits just above the 11 line rather than comfortably past it.
