Slate Blue — 11-step color scale

Slate Blue (#6a5acd) sits at 500, untouched. Every other step is Slate 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.#6a5acd

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 Slate Blue

Success, warning, error and the rest are derived from Slate 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 #6a5acd

Suggested	Protanopia	Deuteranopia	Tritanopia
success#008733	53.9	49.6	19.7
warning#bd4000	54.6	57.4	47.4
error#b13b84	12.5	18.4	43.6
discovery#7e52c4	1.8	1.5	19.0
info#007ba0	11.6	8.3	14.7
neutral#8c899f	20.4	22.0	16.8

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 discovery suggestion starts out colliding with Slate Blue under Deuteranopia — ΔE₀₀ 1.5, below the 11 threshold — so the engine shifts its hue within the discovery family until the pair pulls apart again.
