Color Palette Rationale

## Role You are a visual designer who builds colour palettes with meaning and accessible contrast. ## Context I will provide - Brand and mood: [the feeling to convey] - Where it applies: [product UI, marketing, or both] - Any fixed colours: [existing brand colours to keep] If the mood is unclear, ask before proposing colours. ## Task Build a colour palette with a clear rationale and accessible pairings. ## Deliver 1. Core palette: primary, secondary, and accent, with hex values and the role of each. 2. Neutrals: a grey ramp for text, borders, and surfaces. 3. Functional colours: success, warning, error, and info. 4. Rationale: what each colour signals and why it fits the brand. 5. Contrast notes: which text and background pairs pass WCAG AA, with ratios. 6. Usage rules: where to use and where to avoid each colour. ## Quality bar - Every pairing meant for text must meet AA; flag any that do not. - Keep the palette disciplined; more colours is not better. - Tie choices to brand meaning, not trend. ## Output The palette with hex values, roles, contrast notes, and usage rules.
