Color rules for web UI: palette ramps, semantic color tokens, color notation and gamut, and measured contrast of rendered pairs. Use when choosing, reviewing or fixing colors, color tokens, themes or text contrast in web UI.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Colors

A color system is a small set of ramps, named by role and verified against the backgrounds they actually render on. Most color bugs are system bugs. A value picked in isolation, a token borrowed because it looked right, a pair nobody measured.

Never report a contrast value you did not measure, and never estimate a color you could compute. Colors are one of the few interface concerns with an exact answer, so produce the exact answer.

Contrast requirements belong to `hr-better-accessibility`. Surfaces, shadows and icon color are outside this skill.

## Match the project's color system

Reuse the project's tokens and notation. A second representation added to fix one value makes the palette harder to reason about. A consistent hex system beats hex with `oklch()` scattered through it.

Once the tokens exist, enforce them with a lint rule or guard test that fails on a color literal outside the token files, with a short allowlist for places that need raw values by design. A written "use tokens" rule with no check behind it drifts.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add bompus/house-rules/hr-better-colors@sha256:350a910d55b9adf5

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261008.2645dd1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
