Saddle Brown — 11-step color scale

Saddle Brown (#8b4513) sits at 500, untouched. Every other step is Saddle Brown 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.#8b4513

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 Saddle Brown

Success, warning, error and the rest are derived from Saddle Brown 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 #8b4513

Suggested	Protanopia	Deuteranopia	Tritanopia
success#2b6b30	7.2	7.3	48.8
warning#e98d8a	33.4	30.5	30.4
error#853e6b	36.4	30.8	7.4
discovery#44559a	46.3	48.5	50.3
info#006581	37.7	41.6	48.1
neutral#5a5049	16.8	17.8	18.8

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 starts out colliding with Saddle Brown under Protanopia — ΔE₀₀ 7.2, below the 11 threshold — so the engine shifts its hue within the success family until the pair pulls apart again.
