What it is

Accessible Palette generates colour scales using a perceptually uniform colour space, so that the same step number across different hues has the same lightness and the same contrast against white or black. Export as CSS variables or Tailwind config.

Why it’s here

If you want the Radix Colors idea but with your own brand hue, this is how you build it. The lightness-locked steps mean your blue-500 and your green-500 behave the same way as text or backgrounds.

Best for

  • building a brand colour scale
  • accessible palettes
  • consistent contrast

Can my agent use this?

Agent good agent friendliness

Partly. Build the palette in the tool, export the CSS or Tailwind snippet, and paste it to your agent.

Good: Publicly accessible and useful to reference, but the agent will need to interpret it rather than install it.
