Colors

A color system is a small set of ramps, named by role, applied consistently, and verified against the backgrounds they actually render on. Almost every color problem is a system problem: a value picked in isolation, a token borrowed because it looked right, or a pair nobody measured. Contrast requirements belong to better-accessibility; surfaces, shadows, and icon color belong to better-ui.
