Wheat — 11-step color scale

Wheat (#f5deb3) sits at 500, untouched. Every other step is Wheat 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.#f5deb3

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 Wheat

Success, warning, error and the rest are derived from Wheat 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 #f5deb3

Suggested	Protanopia	Deuteranopia	Tritanopia
success#98b894	11.4	14.4	33.5
warning#c9a184	15.0	13.7	15.1
error#cb9fb8	28.7	25.0	14.2
discovery#a6aad5	35.1	36.4	30.2
info#7fbac0	24.3	29.9	39.9
neutral#afa89d	17.1	17.8	16.5

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 is the closest call: it clears the threshold under Protanopia, but only reaches ΔE₀₀ 11.4, so it sits just above the 11 line rather than comfortably past it.
