Algorithmic Color Palette

Category: General  ·  Sub-category: design-creative  ·  Last updated:
Derive a full UI colour palette algorithmically from one or two brand colours. Darker and lighter variants for interactive states, desaturated greys from the brand hue for borders and backgrounds, and semantic colours that feel coherent with the brand rather than generic. Use when building a colour system from scratch or expanding a limited brand palette for UI use.

From the source SKILL.md

A brand palette of 2–3 colours is not enough for a UI. You need shades for states (hover, active, disabled), neutrals for backgrounds and borders, and semantic colours for status. Deriving these algorithmically from the brand colours produces a palette that feels coherent — everything is visually related to the brand rather than pulled from a generic grey or a stock colour library.

What this skill does

Algorithmic Color Palette is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the design-creative sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/algorithmic-color-palette/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when building a colour system from scratch or expanding a limited brand palette for UI use.
