Teal — 11-step color scale
Teal (#008080) sits at 500, untouched. Every other step is Teal 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.
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 Teal
Success, warning, error and the rest are derived from Teal 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.
| Suggested | Protanopia | Deuteranopia | Tritanopia |
|---|---|---|---|
| success | 21.2 | 24.3 | 6.4 |
| warning | 22.6 | 29.6 | 49.5 |
| error | 9.7 | 5.6 | 54.1 |
| discovery | 15.8 | 11.1 | 11.4 |
| info | 10.9 | 8.4 | 2.7 |
| neutral | 12.8 | 11.1 | 17.7 |
The info suggestion starts out colliding with Teal under Tritanopia — ΔE₀₀ 2.7, below the 11 threshold — so the engine shifts its hue within the info family until the pair pulls apart again.
