Color-Palette articles and design guides

Building a palette is easy until you need eight shades of one hue that all pass contrast and still feel like the same brand. Articles under this tag get into that harder middle: tint and shade ramps, semantic tokens, dark mode inversions that don't muddy everything. We cover OKLCH versus HSL for perceptual evenness, and how to test a palette against real content instead of a swatch grid. For designers building or maintaining a system who are tired of picking colors by vibe alone. Opinions included, especially about neon accents.
