Color Primitives

This is the reference palette — raw LCH color primitives that the design system is built from. Each of the 15 color families has 14 shades (25–1000), authored in LCH color space for perceptual uniformity.

These values are not used directly in components. Instead, they serve as building blocks for semantic tokens — which map color intent (background, text, border, status) to specific shades per theme.

Use this page to:- Browse shades and inspect their Lightness, Chroma, and Hue values - Test color pairs for WCAG 2.1 contrast compliance (AA / AAA) - Find the right primitives before assigning them to semantic roles
