color-expert applies color science for OKLCH palettes, contrast, and systematic color naming.
About
The color-expert skill curates @meodai color science expertise with extensive reference material on OKLCH and OKLAB spaces, palette generation, accessibility and contrast checking, color naming, pigment mixing, and historical color theory. Triggers include color theory, palette generator, color science, OKLCH palette, and contrast check requests. Open-design metadata marks design-system mode. Agents load reference depth for perceptually uniform palettes, WCAG contrast validation, and systematic naming rather than arbitrary hex picks. Use when users need rigorous palette design, accessibility contrast audits, or OKLCH-based color systems. 286K words of color science reference on OKLCH, OKLAB, and theory Palette generation with accessibility and contrast checking Color naming, pigment mixing, and historical color theory coverage Triggers on OKLCH palette, contrast check, and color science requests Curated from @meodai upstream design-system expertise color-expert applies color science for OKLCH palettes, contrast, and systematic color naming Perceptually uniform palette with contrast checks and documented color rationale User mentions OKLCH, palette generator, contrast check, or col.
