Color Sense System

The problem

Many color outputs only provide a list of attractive hex values without roles, ratios, light/dark behavior, or accessibility constraints, making them hard to apply in real UI, brand, or print work. color-sense focuses on explainable and usable color systems: it asks for minimal but useful input, such as use case, target mood, existing brand colors, must-use or avoid colors, light/dark mode, and WCAG contrast or color-blindness concerns. When details are missing, it states explicit assumptions instead of blocking or producing a generic swatch list.

How it works and boundaries

The skill outputs a structured result:

• Palette overview: name, intended use case, and a short emotional summary.
• Core palette: 5–7 colors with HEX, RGB, and CMYK where relevant, plus roles such as primary, secondary, accent, and neutral.
• Usage system: suggested 60/30/10 ratios, hierarchy rules, and guidance on what should dominate or stay rare.
• Color logic: plain-language explanation of monochromatic, analogous, complementary, split-complementary, or triadic strategy and why it fits the medium.
• Variants and accessibility: light, dark, muted, or high-contrast versions, with estimated contrast notes for key pairs and color-blindness risks.

It is useful for UI, brand support palettes, illustration, photography grading, and data visualization. The boundaries are clear: it does not claim exact computed contrast unless calculated, does not guarantee print-perfect accuracy, and does not replace a full brand identity process.
