Royal Blue — 11-step color scale

Royal Blue (#4169e1) sits at 500, untouched. Every other step is Royal Blue 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.#4169e1

For text that needs to pass AA on white, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 950 clear the 4.5:1 line. On a dark surface, 50, 100, 200, 300, 400 do.

Semantic colors from Royal Blue

Success, warning, error and the rest are derived from Royal Blue 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 #4169e1

Suggested	Protanopia	Deuteranopia	Tritanopia
success#008d36	55.2	52.5	14.9
warning#ca3b00	56.4	60.6	65.9
error#c03580	16.9	23.4	63.0

info#00879c	16.2	12.6	9.5
neutral#868c9c	20.9	22.4	16.7

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 discovery suggestion starts out colliding with Royal Blue under Deuteranopia — ΔE₀₀ 2.1, below the 11 threshold — so the engine shifts its hue within the discovery family until the pair pulls apart again.
