Test report

Verdict: Tested · Works
Score: 9.6/10
Tested: Jul 14, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · 3810f39

Ran the actual HSL math on brand colour #2D6A4F (H153/S40/L30) for real: skill output produced greys that are visibly green-tinted (#161d1a, #45544d, #f4f5f5) and semantic colours locked to the brand's own 40% saturation, versus the unguided baseline's stock Tailwind greys and default red/amber/green that share no hue or intensity relationship with the brand at all.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

What Algorithmic Colour Palette does

Expands one or two brand colours into a full UI colour system using explicit HSL-adjustment formulas: darker/lighter interactive states, brand-hue-desaturated greys instead of generic neutrals, and semantic status colours aligned to the brand's saturation and lightness. Triggers when building or extending a colour system, choosing hover/active shades, or generating tokens for CSS/Tailwind/design-system files.
