Color articles and design guides

Palettes that have to work in two themes, at 4.5:1, on hardware you don't control. This tag treats color as a systems problem rather than a taste one. Contrast baked into tokens beats contrast checked at review, because the token survives the redesign and the review doesn't. Apple Intelligence brought glow and gradient back into product UI and there's a right and wrong way to borrow that. Dark mode is where most palettes fail first, so it gets attention here.
