Instead of relying on abstract numbers, I suggest incorporating descriptive names that include the hue, lightness value, context, and contrast ratio, which aligns with the Wakat guidelines for accessibility. I highlight the importance of achieving specific contrast ratios—3:1 for ornamental elements, 4.5:1 for regular text, and 7:1 for high accessibility. This method not only simplifies the design process but also enhances scalability and adaptability for dark mode palettes. I invite you to consider using this system in your own work and share your thoughts on it.
