Builds an accessible brand color palette - one anchor color, role assignments, 9-step tonal scales, 60-30-10 distribution, and documented usage rules - ready for a developer to implement without guessing. Use when someone asks "pick our brand colors", "build a color system for our app", "what shade should our buttons be", or is defining the color layer of a design system. Do NOT use for auditing or fixing contrast failures and color-blindness issues in an existing product - use…
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
# Color Palette Builder A brand color palette is not a mood board - it is a functional system with roles, scales, and rules. The costly failure is shipping pretty swatches with no usage rules: developers guess, screens drift, and within months the product has fourteen slightly different blues and body text that fails contrast. Build the palette so a developer can implement it without asking a single question. ## Operating procedure Work the steps in order: roles before scales, scales before contrast checks - contrast is verified per color pair, and pairs only exist once the scales do. ### Step 1: Gather inputs Collect these before generating anything; label any guess as a guess. - Anchor color, if one exists (hex value). If none, collect 3-5 brand adjectives plus the category's color conventions to derive one. - Surfaces in scope: marketing site, product UI, or both. Product UI needs a deeper neutral scale. - Dark mode: in scope now, later, or never. Default to architecting semantic tokens regardless - it adds no cost now and prevents significant rework later. …

How to install
mdr add skillmedev/skills/color-palette-builder@sha256:313fd144d3b10010The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261005.bea4ea5, 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.
